Effects of inspiratory muscle training on postural stability, pulmonary function and functional capacity in children with cystic fibrosis: A randomised controlled trial.

abstract：:Heart-lung transplantation involves denervation of the lungs below the tracheal anastomosis, with associated permanent loss of all pulmonary innervation except post-ganglionic efferent nerves. This is supported by loss of the cough reflex to inhaled USNDW, which also implies that the RARs which mediate this cough mech...
