Summary

Frailty is a clinical syndrome that alters the structure and function of respiratory system which causes stiffness of thoracic cage and reduces the chest wall compliance in addition of respiratory muscle weakness that can lead to the reduction of pulmonary function. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and hold-relax pectoral stretch on pulmonary function (FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC) among frail elderly

Conditions

  • Pulmonary Function in Frail Elderly

Interventions

OTHER

Inspiratory Muscle Training

Participants in the experimental group were given Inspiratory Muscle Training by using an IMT device. For this training, the inspiratory load for each participant was set at 30 cmH2O. In control group, the participants received 3 sets of passive hold- relax pectoral stretch for each session. Each stretch was maintained for 10 seconds with a rest period of 30 seconds given between the sets. Each participant was supposed to complete a total of 12 sessions of exercises, 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks.
