Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of inspiratory muscle training on respiratory functions, functional capacity, fatigue and quality of life in pediatric cancer patients who have recently completed treatment. A total of 27 patients were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups as Training and Control groups. After the initial evaluation of all patients, they were included in an 8-week inspiratory muscle training program. The final evaluation was made at the end of 8 weeks. According to the final evaluations, it was found that there was a statistical increase in favor of the Training group on Maximal Inspiratory Pressure, 6 Minute Walking Test, Quality of Life and Fatigue.

  • Inspiratory Muscle Training

Interventions

OTHER

Training Group

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) was performed using the Threshold IMT device using the threshold loading method. The IMT was administered to the patients in the training group at 30% of the MIP value, 5 days a week, twice a day, for 15 minutes for 8 weeks. The patients in the training group were called for a check-up once a week and the MIP value was re-evaluated. The training workload for that week was determined by taking 30% of the new measured MIP value. During the training, the patients were asked to sit with their upper body (shoulders and upper chest) in a relaxed position, and after the nose was closed with the clip, the mouthpiece of the device was tightly closed with the lips. While in this position, the patient was asked to inhale and exhale 5 times into the device, then remove the device from their mouth and listen for 5 breaths, and continue this cycle for 15 minutes.

OTHER

Control Group

The training intensity of the control group was given at the lowest load (9 cm H2O) for 8 weeks, five days a week, twice a day for 15 minutes. To eliminate the effect of learning, the MIP measure of the control group was measured once a week, but the intensity of the training was not increased during the 8 weeks.
