Respiratory function is impaired at various degrees in FRDA. The complex condition of inco-ordination and hyposthenia in FRDA affects daytime and night-time respiratory efficiency. We believe that the respiratory deficit and the inefficiency of cough are indeed a clinical problem deserving consideration, especially in the context of the concomitant postural difficulty and the possible presence of dysphagia. Therefore, the rehabilitation project for the subject with FRDA should also consider the respiratory function.
