Abstract

The functional state of respiratory muscles and diaphragm was assessed in 28 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of 2, 2-3, 3 degrees of severity according to electroneuromyography at the age of 49 to 65 years. The revealed violations of the functional state of the respiratory muscles and the function of external respiration significantly aggravate the progressive nature of the pathological process in the lungs in COPD.
