There is some evidence of the effectiveness of a manually assisted cough when applied by health-care providers. However, it is unknown whether parents and caregivers may also be effective in applying manually assisted cough. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether parents and caregivers are effective at applying a manually assisted cough to a child with neuromuscular disease after being taught by a health-care provider.",

Cough peak flow was the outcome measure for the strength of the child's cough. Children were eligible to participate if their unassisted cough peak flow at baseline was <270 L/min. Parents and caregivers were taught a manually assisted cough by a physiotherapist before being measured. The cough peak flow was measured in the following order: (1) during an unassisted cough as baseline, (2) during a manually assisted cough performed by a physiotherapist, (3) during a manually assisted cough performed by a parent or caregiver, and (4) during an unassisted cough after intervention.",
