Study Overview
Brief Summary
Patients suffering from parkinsonism have respiratory function abnormalities. This study compared the effects of incentive spirometer and inspiratory muscle trainer on pulmonary functions in patients with parkinsonism.
Detailed Description
The participants were recruited according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants were divided into two groups - incentive spirometer and inspiratory muscle trainer. These trainings were performed for 6 weeks duration. Several outcome measures related to pulmonary function tests were measured before and after the intervention.
