Introduction The child who chronically breathes through the mouth may develop a weakness of the respiratory muscles. Researchers and clinical are seeking for methods of instrumental evaluation to gather complementary data to clinical evaluations. With this in mind, it is important to evaluate breathing muscles in the child with Mouth Breathing. Objective To develop a review to investigate studies that used evaluation methods of respiratory muscle strength in mouth breathers. Data Synthesis The authors were unanimous in relation to manovacuometry method as a way to evaluate respiratory pressures in Mouth Breathing children. Two of them performed with an analog manovacuometer and the other one, digital. The studies were not evaluated with regard to the method efficacy neither the used instruments. Conclusion There are few studies evaluating respiratory muscle strength in Mouth Breathing people through manovacuometry and the low methodological rigor of the analyzed studies hindered a reliable result to support or refuse the use of this technique.
长期用口呼吸的儿童可能会出现呼吸肌无力。研究人员和临床医生正在寻找仪器评估方法，以收集补充临床评估的数据。考虑到这一点，评估口呼吸儿童的呼吸肌很重要。目的：开展一项综述，以调查使用口呼吸者呼吸肌力量评估方法的研究。数据综合：作者们一致认为，压力计法是评估口呼吸儿童呼吸压力的一种方法。其中两项研究使用模拟压力计进行，另一项使用数字压力计。这些研究在方法有效性和所用仪器方面均未得到评估。结论：通过压力计法评估口呼吸者呼吸肌力量的研究较少，且所分析研究的方法严谨性较低，阻碍了得出可靠结果来支持或反对使用该技术。
