Inspiratory Muscle Training in Cerebral Palsy Patients

NCT04915170 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 38

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To evaluate the effectiveness of two protocols of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in cerebral palsy patients to improve respiratory strength and spirometric parameters. Low-intensity vs high-intensity resistance training programs. Evaluations: Determination of the maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and the maximum expiratory pressure (MEP); spirometry - peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1) and clinical evaluations. The participants will be evaluated at the beginning and end of the intervention period. Intervention: There are two groups of patients, one works with low loads (20% MIP) and another with high loads (40% MIP). They train 5 days/week 10 cycles lasting 1 minute. There is a rest of 1 minute between each cycle.

Conditions

  • Respiratory Insufficiency

Interventions

DEVICE

Inspiratory muscle training

The device incorporate a unidirectional valve independent of flow to guarantee constant resistance and included a specific pressure setting (in cm H2O)
