Overview
Brief Summary
8 weeks of inspiratory muscle training combined with a pulmonary rehabilitation program increases respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, functional capacity, and quality of life in chest burned children.
Detailed Description
The primary purpose of this study is to see how an inspiratory muscle training program along with a pulmonary rehabilitation program improved respiratory muscle strength, respiratory function and quality of life after children with chest burns were discharged from the hospital.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pulmonary function test, FEV1/FVC ratio
Time Frame: 8 weeks
performed using a spirometer, (forced expiratory volume in the first second/ forced vital capacity) FEV1/FVC ratio was recorded.
maximal inspiratory pressure
Time Frame: 8 weeks
performed using an electronic respiratory pressure meter
maximal expiratory pressure
Time Frame: 8 weeks
performed using an electronic respiratory pressure meter
Pulmonary function test, forced expiratory volume in the first second
Time Frame: 8 weeks
performed using a spirometer, the FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in the first second) was recorded.
Pulmonary function test, forced vital capacity
Time Frame: 8 weeks
performed using a spirometer, the FVC (forced vital capacity) was recorded.
Secondary Outcomes
- Functional exercise capacity(8 weeks)
- Health related Quality of Life(8 weeks)
