During multiple sclerosis (MS), although expiratory involvement and reduced sputum capacity are predominant, automated techniques of hyperinsufflation and in-exsufflation remain underused and undervalued. A single retrospective study suggests a decrease in the decline in respiratory function with regular manual hyperinsufflation. Evidence of a benefit of chest mobilization by hyperinsufflation by a controlled trial is therefore necessary before recommending its use in MS.
