Summary

The disease burden of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is growing rapidly, and multiple complications have been reported including cardiopulmonary and high fall risk which declines the overall quality of life. IMT can be useful technique to improve the physical and functional performance, reduce the severity of complications and enable the individuals to become active members of community. The current study is intended to evaluate the dual effects of IMT on postural stability and pulmonary function of diabetic patients.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Inspiratory Muscle Training

Participants will perform home-based IMT twice daily \[once in the morning (between 7:00 and 12:00 am) and once in the evening (between 16:00 and 21:00 pm)\], for 8 consecutive weeks, using a mechanical pressure threshold loading device. In addition, participants in this group will try to increase the inspiratory resistance when the participants feel that 30 breaths are achievable with ease or if the participants could reach 35 consecutive breaths.

DEVICE

Sham IMT

Participants will perform 60 slow breaths once daily at a load setting of 0 (corresponding to \~15% \[baseline\] MIP), using the same device as the IMT group. For the sham group, the ability to adjust the training load will be prevented using sticky tape applied to the device's load adjuster.
