RESUMO:

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS), leading to degeneration of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra. In the neuromuscular impairment, respiratory system have losses in function and muscle efficiency, especially about restrictive form of the disease. A contraction of the respiratory muscles Thixotropic modality could potentially be able to improve ventilation and volume of the chest wall minimizing the damage by changing the tension and tone of these muscles. Objective: To assess the variation of the volume of the chest wall, gas compression volume and displacement of blood to the area of the chest (blood shift) before and immediately after conducting thixotropic contraction movements through volume measures of the chest wall, flow and airway pressure. Methods: In these preliminary results, were recruited 6 subjects with PD, older than 40 years, with no other comorbidities and score 3 in Hoehn & Yahr Scale. Two subjects were excluded from the assessment because they presented difficulties in the preparation of the required maneuver. The subjects were divided into two groups: experimental group (EC), n = 1, where the subjects performed inspiratory contraction starting from total lung capacity (TLC) and residual volume (RV); and control group (CG), n = 3, where the subjects performed only apnea starting from TLC and RV. They were assessed for lung function, respiratory muscle strength, and varying volumes of chest wall before and after the thixotropic maneuvers (inspiratory apnea and contraction starting from residual volume (RV) and total lung capacity (TLC). Results: The subjects were divided into experimental group (EG), n = 01 and control group (CG), with n = 03 participants, mean age 68 vs 68 ± 7.5 years; BMI (kg / m2) 28 vs 25 ± 1.4; FEV1 (%) 94 vs 84.2 ± 10.3; FEV1 / FVC ratio (%) 87 vs 95.2 ± 9.23, respectively. There was an increase in inspiratory and expiratory volumes end, 0.22 L to 0.25 L from CPT and reduced end expiratory volume (-0.01 L) and increase in end-inspiratory volume (0.03 L), for GC respectively ( p <0.05). There was a decrease in the displacement of blood (blood shift), the inspiratory cycle, from the CPT (Δ = -0.034 L) and VR (Δ = -0.027 L); and expiratory from the TLC and RV (Δ = 0.05 L). No change in gas compression volume for both groups. Conclusion: The results suggest an increasing trend of final lung volumes and decreased blood shift to the chest wall after thixotropic maneuver apnea.
