Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation(NMES) to rectus abdominis will be applied using 4 carbon silicon electrode. In the first sessions, patients ECG will be checked. Patients will be in semi-fowler position (30º),with their lower limbs to be in extension and upper limbs at their sides. The NMES frequency will be at 30 Hertz and the application time will be 30 minutes. Treatment will be programmed for 3 days per week. The patients will coordinate their breath (inspiration) with the contraction which will be generated by the electrical current. The program will continue for 6 weeks.
Inspirator Muscle Training
Inspirator Muscle Training(IMT) will be applied 7 days per week, twice a day for 15 minutes. The program will continue for 6 weeks duration under weekly control of the investigator.Training intensity will set at 30% of the maximum inspiratory pressure.
Peripheral Muscle Training
Peripheral Muscle Training will be applied by elastic band and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation 3 times per week.The program will continue for 6 weeks.
