Inspiratory muscle training in pulmonary rehabilitation program in COPD patients.
Most pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs do not currently incorporate IMT in their PR programs for COPD patients. The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of adding IMT to the patients already involved in a rehabilitation program. Thirty-four patients with significant COPD were recruited for the study. All patients participated in a general exercise reconditioning (GER) progr...
متن کاملInspiratory muscle training may increase peak inspiratory flow in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
BACKGROUND When choosing a specific inhalation device for a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patient, the internal airflow resistance and the ability of the patient to overcome it and to create an optimal inspiratory flow are essential. OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to investigate: (1) the peak inspiratory flow (PIF) that a patient with COPD can generate while br...
متن کاملInspiratory Muscle Training During Treatment
In a previous study performed by us, functional alterations in the inspiratory muscles were evaluated in patients receiving corticosteroids for diseases other than respiratory. We have shown that patients who received high-dose steroids for several weeks developed inspiratory muscle weakness that was reversible following withdrawal of the drug treatment. The present study was designed to evalua...
متن کاملTraining-induced vascular adaptations to ischemic muscle.
Peripheral arterial insufficiency is a progressive degenerative disease associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. It decreases exercise tolerance and often presents with symptoms of intermittent claudication. Enhanced physical activity is one of the most effective means of improving the life of affected patients. While this occurs for a variety of reasons, vascular remodeling can be...
متن کاملSpecificity and reversibility of inspiratory muscle training.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pressure-flow specificity of adaptations to inspiratory muscle training (IMT), in addition to the temporal effects of detraining and reduced frequency of training upon these adaptations. METHODS Twenty-four healthy subjects were assigned randomly to one of four groups (A: low-flow-high-pressure IMT; B: high-flow-low-pressure IMT; C: interm...
