    Diagnosing, Treating and Researching Exercise Induced Laryngeal Obstruction (EILO)

    Dr. John Robertson and his team at Cook Children's Exercise Respiratory Center specialize in diagnosing and treating exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) and dysfunctional breathing in children and young adults. They use the Continuous Laryngoscopy During Exercise (CLE) test, a pioneering method since 2019, to observe airway, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems during exercise. The center, founded in 2023, offers personalized treatment plans involving speech and physical therapies. Research by Dr. Andy Kreutzer aims to develop a single exercise session to diagnose EILO and other respiratory issues. The team emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and collaboration with coaches and trainers to help athletes manage symptoms and continue their sports.
