• Clinical responses following inspiratory muscle training in exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction 

      Sandnes, Astrid; Andersen, Tiina Maarit; Clemm, Hege Synnøve Havstad; Hilland, Magnus; Heimdal, John-Helge; Halvorsen, Thomas; Røksund, Ola Drange; Vollsæter, Maria (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Purpose: Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is relatively common in young people. Treatment rests on poor evidence; however, inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been proposed a promising strategy. We aimed to ...
    • Physiotherapy improves symptoms of exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction in young elite athletes: A case series 

      Kolnes, Liv-Jorunn; Vollsæter, Maria; Røksund, Ola Drange; Stensrud, Trine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Objective: A constricted, upper chest breathing pattern and postural dealignments habitually accompany exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO), but there are few effective treatments for athletes presenting with EILO. ...
    • Reliability of translaryngeal airway resistance measurements during maximal exercise 

      Fretheim-Kelly, Zoe; Engan, Mette; Clemm, Hege Synnøve Havstad; Andersen, Tiina Maarit; Heimdal, John-Helge; Strand, Eric; Halvorsen, Thomas; Røksund, Ola Drange; Vollsæter, Maria (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Objective: Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction is an important cause of exertional dyspnoea. The diagnosis rests on visual judgement of relative changes of the laryngeal inlet during continuous laryngoscopy exercise ...
    • Use of inhaled ipratropium bromide to improve exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction cannot be recommended 

      Muralitharan, Praveen; Carlsen, Petter; Hilland, Magnus; Delestre-Levai, Irisz; Vollsæter, Maria; Hufthammer, Karl Ove; Engan, Mette; Røksund, Ola Drange; Halvorsen, Thomas; Clemm, Hege Synnøve Havstad (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Introduction: Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is a common cause of exertional breathing problems in young adults. Current management generally consists of breathing advice, speech therapy, inspiratory muscle ...
