Inspiratory Muscle Training in Burned Adults
- Conditions
- Burn Injuries
- Registration Number
- NCT06315712
- Lead Sponsor
- Qassim University
- Brief Summary
The study outlines burn injury impact, emphasizes need for long-term rehabilitation. Study assesses inspiratory muscle training efficacy in improving respiratory strength, lung function, and exercise capacity in adult burn patients.
- Detailed Description
The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of adding inspiratory muscle training to pulmonary rehabilitation in adult burn patients. Fifty-two participants were randomly assigned to either inspiratory muscle training plus pulmonary rehabilitation or pulmonary rehabilitation alone for 8 weeks. Inspiratory muscle training consisted of using a Powerbreathe device for inspiratory muscle strengthening.
