If a manometer isn’t available, you can still identify signs of respiratory muscle weakness (RMW) and begin training safely.
Clinicians can often recognize RMW by observing a patient’s condition — for example, individuals with sarcopenia, frailty, or increased respiratory effort are very likely to have some degree of respiratory muscle dysfunction. These patients may struggle to complete simple tasks without becoming fatigued, which is a clear indicator of respiratory muscle weakness.
Because respiratory muscle training is a safe, low-risk intervention, you don’t need to wait for manometry results to begin treatment. You can start training and assess progress over time — adding formal measurements later if needed.

You don’t need a manometer to start training effectively with The Breather. To help users train at the right intensity, we developed the Breather Effort Scale — a 10-point visual scale (similar to rating pain at the doctor) combined with something ...
The pressure generated can be measured by using a manometer in series while using the Breather. Manometer kits for use with the Breather are available here: https://voiceaerobicsdvd.com/product/rmt-accessory-kit/
