Overview
Brief Summary
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and incentive spirometer on ventilatory functions in post-menopausal asthmatic women. Participants and methods: A total of forty postmenopausal women suffering from asthma, their ages ranged from 50 to 60 years old, and their body mass index of the patient don't exceed 30kg/m2. They were recruited from patient chest clinic in Kasr -El- Ainy Teaching Hospital, Cairo University, Egypt.
Detailed Description
They signed a consent form, confidentiality was assured. They assigned into two groups (A) who received inspiratory muscle training in the form of: Inspiratory threshold muscle trainer in addition to traditional chest physical therapy intervention (Deep breath, cough training) while patients in group (B): received traditional chest physical therapy intervention and incentive spirometer, three sessions per week for six weeks. Patients in both groups were assessed before treatment (pre-training) then after treatment (post-training) (after 6 weeks) to measure lung functions using electronic spirometer. The training program was carried in the duration from January 2019 to July 2019.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
MVV (Maximum voluntary ventilation)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
is the maximum air, which can be expired in a minute by deepest and fastest breathing, reported as a number in liters (L)
Electronic Spirometer (VIASYS- Health Care Microlab)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
It was used for ventilatory functions measurement Ventilatory,reported as a number in liters (L).
FVC (Forced vital capacity)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
is one of the most useful tests to assess the overall ability to move air in and out of the lungs (ventilation). This is the maximum amount of air that can be forcefully and rapidly exhaled after a deep breath (maximal inspiration),reported as a number in liters (L)
FEV1 (Forced expiratory volume)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
is the volume of air forcibly exhaled in one second during the FVC test,reported as a number in liters (L)
Secondary Outcomes
- Body mass index(6 weeks)
