This review examines neural mechanisms to enhance pulmonary rehabilitation through NPF and respiratory muscle dynamics.
The interaction between the central nervous system and respiratory musculature is pivotal in managing critically ill patients. This review examines the functional anatomy of primary and accessory respiratory muscles and evaluates the role of Neurophysiological Respiratory Facilitation (NPF). We discuss how external tactile and proprioceptive stimuli trigger reflex respiratory movement sequences, potentially through the activation of "Central Pattern Generators" (CPGs) and medullary respiratory centers
