Inspiratory Muscle Training for Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder

April 26, 2017 updated by: Sykehuset Innlandet HF
This study is a randomized controlled trial with the aim of evaluating the effect of homebased inspiratory muscle training (IMT) for patients with COPD in Norway. The intervention group will train with threshold IMT for 6 weeks. The control group will not participate in any other training method or sham. Evaluation parameters are maximal inspiratory pressure, six minute walk test, COPD assessment test, modified Medical research council dyspnea scale and spirometry.
