%X introduction: aging is a physiological process that brings with it several changes in the body system, including the decrease in respiratory muscle strength. objective: to evaluate mip (maximal inspiration pressure), mep (maximal expiratory pressure) and expiratory flow peak of institutionalized elderly before and after application of manual techniques and expansive flow-oriented incentive spirometry (respiron£¿), and compare the results obtained. materials and methods: a longitudinal study, case control study in an institution in curitiba (pr), with 16 male individuals (70-80 years old). the subjects were selected and evaluated for their respiratory muscle strength through the manometer indumed£¿ and expiratory peak flow through the flow of mini wright£¿ brand. the treatment program was conducted for 15 minutes, interspersed with one minute rest every four minutes of technique, three times a week for six consecutive weeks. after evaluation, the sample was randomly divided into groups: group 1 (g1, n = 7) - elderly submitted to the use the encouraged inspiratory (respiron£¿) and to expansive techniques (diaphragmatic breathing exercises and compression/decompression); group 2 (g2, n = 7) - manual expansive techniques; group 3 (g3, n = 7) - inspiratory incentive; group 4 (g4, n = 7) - control group. results: there was an improvement for all variables before and after treatment for the experimental groups, but the emphasis is given to group ii. conclusion: this study showed satisfactory results with the application of techniques for lung expansion and respiron£¿ in respiratory muscle strength and expiratory flow peak of institutionalized elderly.
