peripheral muscles exercise training

DEVICE

inspiratory muscle training

Patients started breathing at a resistance that required generation of 30% of their PImax for one week. The load was then increased incrementally, 5-10%, to reach generation of 60% of their PImax at the end of the first month. Specific IMT was then continued at 60% of their PImax adjusted weekly to the new PImax achieved.
