Inspiratory muscle training

A pressure threshold device (Threshold® IMT HS730, RESPIRONICS Inc, Cedar Grove, NJ, USA) was used for the inspiratory muscle training program. The individualized training program was started at an intensity of 30% MIP, which was increased by 2 cmH2O each week, but the maximal intensity did not exceed 50% of MIP. Patients were encouraged to perform IMT for 30 minutes per day, at least 5 days a week for 8 weeks.
