Inspiratory Muscle Training in Patients Receiving Allogenic Stem Cell Transplantation

June 30, 2011 updated by: Elisabethinen Hospital

Effectiveness of an Inspiratory Muscle Training in Patients Receiving Allogenic Stem Cell Transplantation

The study is a monocentric, controlled randomized trial. Its an interventional method study. There is a control and an interventional group. The interventional group is receiving a specific inspiratory muscle training with "Respifit" (special device for inspiratory muscle training) during the first 30 days after allogenic stem cell transplantation.

The investigators want to show that the training group gets stronger inspiratory muscles. The investigators measure the change of PIMAX values and MVV values.
