ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Neuromuscular diseases (NMD) are a group of pathologies that affect the functionality of skeletal muscles and one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in these patients is respiratory failure secondary to inspiratory muscle dysfunction. The diagnosis of inspiratory muscle dysfunction requires a combination of vital capacity (VC), maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP). To assess whether it is possible using three techniques of peak phonation time (MPT) measurement to define lung function (VC < 50%ref) and inspiratory muscle dysfunction (MIP
