چکیده

Background: Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been applied during pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, it remains unclear if the addition of IMT to a general exercise training program leads to additional clinically relevant improvements in patients with COPD. Aim of the Study: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the addition of inspiratory muscle trainer (IMT) to a general exercise training program for 2 months improved 6 min walking distance, pulmonary functions, health-related quality of life, in patients with COPD or not. Design: This study was conducted from January 2013 to November 2013 in Giza chesthospital. Patients: This study conducted on forty patients with moderate COPD men aged 45 to 55 years for 2 months. Intervention: The 40 men were randomly assigned to two groups; Group (1) (n=20) and Group (2) (n=20). Both groups followed an exercise training program for 2 months. Group (1) received an additional inspiratory muscle training (IMT) program for the same period. Main Outcomes Measures: Weight, body mass index (BMI), pulmonary function tests including FEV 1 , FVC, and FEV 1 /FVC, and Six minutes’ walk test, mMRC and BODE index. Results: After 2 months, men in Group (1) (IMT and exercise training) showed a highly significant improvement in pulmonaryfunctions (FEV 1 with p<0.0001, FVC with p<0.001), 6MWD withp <0.001, and BODE indexwith p<0.0001). In Group (2) (exercise training) also demonstrated significant statistically differences in the mean values in pulmonary functions (FEV1 with p<0.001, FVC with p<0.0001), 6MWD withp <0.001, and BODE indexwith p<0.000 1). The improvement in Group (1) was more than in Group (2) in all variables. Conclusions: The present study found that short-term aerobic training program plus IMT had the capacity to break out the Correspondence to: Dr. Magdy M.

Comparing the Effect of Resistive Inspiratory Muscle Training and Incentive Spirometry on Respiratory Pattern of COPD patients

Background: Resistive Inspiratory Muscle Training (RIMT) is a well-known technique for rehabilitation of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Incentive spirometry is another technique with potential viability for this application, but there is limited evidence in support of its efficacy in the rehabilitation of COPD patients. Aim: The objective of this study was to compar...

The Significance of BODE (BMI, Obstruction, Dyspnea, Exercise) Index in Patients with Mustard Lung

  Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) secondary to sulfur mustard exposure, known as mustard lung, is an important late pulmonary complication. The BODE (Body mass index, Obstruction, Dyspnea, and Exercise) index has been established as a valuable tool for determining the adverse consequences of COPD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the BODE index in pat...

Effects of controlled inspiratory muscle training in patients with COPD: a meta-analysis.

The purpose of this meta-analysis is to review studies investigating the efficacy of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and to find out whether patient characteristics influence the efficacy of IMT. A systematic literature search was performed using the Medline and Embase databases. On the basis of a methodological framework, a critical re...

Cycle ergometer and inspiratory muscle training in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) the intensity of aerobic training is limited by dyspnea. Improving strength of the inspiratory muscles could enhance aerobic exercise training by reducing exercise-related dyspnea. We examined effects of home-based inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and cycle ergometry training (CET) in 53 patients with moderate to severe COPD (FEV(1)...

Effects of combined inspiratory muscle and cycle ergometer training on exercise performance in patients with COPD.

Cycle ergometer training plays an important role in the rehabilitation of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the usefulness of specific inspiratory muscle training as part of pulmonary rehabilitation remains uncertain. To determine whether inspiratory muscle training could intensify the known beneficial effects of cycle ergometer training on exercise performance in ...
