Introduction: Huntington's disease (DH) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, characterized by the triad: motor alterations, psychiatric disorders and cognitive dysfunction. Patients with HD will exhibit mobility restriction, which in the future will lead to generalized muscle weakness. Objective: To evaluate the effects of respiratory muscle training with the use of Threshold in patients diagnosed with DH treated at the Clinical School of Physical therapy of Unieuro University Center. Methods: Participants underwent respiratory muscle training with Threshold® IMT. The program consists of 3 sets with 5 replicates per day, for 3 weeks. At the end of the training the patients were reassessed, and the results obtained were compared with the results obtained in the initial evaluation. Results: After 3 weeks of training, patient 1 presented the best result of maximal inspiratory pressure and maximal expiratory pressure equal to 50 cmH20 and walked in the 6-minute walk test 261 m. Already, patient 2 presented the best inspiratory pressure result 70 cmH2O and the maximum expiratory pressure 60 cmH2O, and in the 6-minute walk test it ran 146 m. Conclusion: We concluded that respiratory muscle training may be beneficial for patients with Huntington's disease, but further studies are needed to determine the best protocol for them.
