No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a programme based on inspiratory and expiratory muscle training to improve respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity and avoid pulmonary complications in adults with cervical or high dorsal spinal cord injury (C5-D5) in acute phase.

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injuries

Interventions

DEVICE

Respiratory muscle training

The training of the intervention group will have an initial workload of 30% of maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures, which will be increased weekly by 10% according to tolerance, if not tolerated by 5%. In addition, patients will be instructed to maintain a normal respiratory rate (12-16 breaths per minute). Moreover, they will continue their usual treatment.

DEVICE

Control group

In the control group, the respiratory muscle training will be simulated by using the device without load throughout the study period using an opaque adhesive tape surrounding the device to mask the valve position.
