PowerBreathe and PEP Therosold tools
"Initially, the following data were collected from each subject in addition to basic epidemiological data:~M-mode diaphragmatic excursion measurements, both in inspiration and expiration via ultrasound; spirometry is also carried out, obtaining values of forced vital capacity (FVC or FVC), forced expiratory volume (FEV), portion of FVC (FEV1/FVC), peak expiratory flow (PEF), mean expiratory flow, peak inspiratory pressure (PIM) and peak expiratory pressure (PEM). A 30-day treatment plan was carried out in which one group (Tool Group) had to perform 5 minutes of exercise with each tool, alternating with one minute of rest between each minute of exercise, starting with the Therosold PEP® and then the PowerBreathe®. The resistances applied to the devices were marked according to the specific assessment of each subject, in relation to the spirometric values of PIM and PEM."
