High-resolution manometry (HRM) before and after respiratory physiotherapy in a case of ineffective esophageal motility (IEM). The finding on HRM shows an increase in the contractile vigor of the esophagus after respiratory physiotherapy was applied in a patient with initial IEM (assessed according Chicago classification v3.0). a Evaluation of esophageal contractility before respiratory physiotherapy (mean distal contractile integral [DCI] 632 mmHg.cm.s; half of all swallows were weak); b Evaluation of esophageal contractility after respiratory physiotherapy (mean DCI 1620 mmHg.cm.s; no swallows were weak)
