Effectiveness of Inspiratory Muscle Training With Slow Breathing in Elderly With ISH

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Hypertension

• Registration Number: NCT02752217
• Lead Sponsor: Khon Kaen University

Brief Summary

Study the effects of inspiratory muscle training at Low load of 25 %Maximal inspiratory pressure with slow breathing rate at 6 breaths/min on inspiratory muscle strength, lung function, chest wall expansion, abdominal expansion, exercise capacity and blood pressure in elderly with Isolated systolic hypertension.

Detailed Description

Study the effects of inspiratory muscle training at Low load of 25 % Maximal inspiratory pressure with slow breathing rate at 6 breaths/min with BreatheMAXยฎdevice for 8 weeks at home on inspiratory muscle strength, lung function (slow vital capacity, inspiratory capacity), chest wall expansion, abdominal expansion, exercise capacity by arm ergometry and blood pressure in elderly with Isolated systolic hypertension. who have age 60-80 years.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change from baseline in Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP)	Baseline and at 8 weeks	MIP will be measure by Mouth pressure meter (Micro RPM, Micro Medical, Inc., Chatham Maritime, Kent)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Blood pressure (BP)	Baseline and at 8 weeks	Blood pressure (BP) at home measured by digital bedside monitor. Accordingly follow ACMS recommended. And BP at laboratory test measured by Bedside monitor.
Lung capacity	Baseline and at 8 weeks	Lung capacity consists of slow vital capacity (SVC), inspiratory capacity (IC). SVC and IC will be measure by a portable computerized spirometer (KoKo spirometer)
Exercise capacity	Baseline and at 8 weeks	Exercise capacity by Arm ergometer consists of exercise times, rating of perceived breathlessness (RPB) will examined by Borg scale
Chest wall expansion and abdominal expansion	Baseline and at 8 weeks	chest wall expansion and abdominal expansion measured at xiphoid process level and middle between the ambrical and xiphiod process level by use a flexible measuring tape (cm)
