Summary

This study evaluates the effects of a 10-week inspiratory muscle training on the outcomes of respiratory muscle strength, fatigue, activity participation, and respiratory infection rates in persons with advanced Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Participants will perform daily exercise using the Threshold Inspiratory Muscle Trainer (IMT) device during the training period. The study will assess whether the participants improve after the training, and whether the effects can be maintained after the training ends.

OTHER

Inspiratory Muscle Trainer (IMT)

During the 10-week training period, participants will perform exercises using a Threshold Inspiratory Muscle Trainer (IMT) at 3 sets of 15 repetitions per day. The initial resistance of the IMT unit will be at 30% of participants' maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP). Resistance for the IMT unit will be increased progressively and adjusted weekly by a licensed physical therapist based on participant's MIP at baseline, Borg perceived rate of exertion, and symptoms.
