Summary
This study looked at whether using a Passy-Muir valve (a small device that helps people with a tracheostomy speak) also helps them walk farther. 26 adults with a tracheostomy completed several 6-minute walk tests, alternating between using the valve and leaving the tracheostomy open. The goal was to see if the valve improved walking distance and made exercise feel easier.
