简要总结
This study was designed to examine the effect of incentive spirometry in pulmonary rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy. The incentive spirometer, a device that can help improve breathing and strengthen inspiratory muscles. If the patient assigned to training group, the subjects started to respiratory muscle strengthening exercise using incentive spirometry. The training was performed ten sessions daily, for 4 weeks. Respiratory function tests including forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, Peak cough flow, maximal phonation time were compared before interventions and at the end of exercise.

结局指标
主要结局
Forced vital capacity
时间窗: within 3 days after respiratory muscle training
Forced vital capacity means amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. Measuring FVC is done through spirometry testing.
次要结局
- forced expiratory volume in 1 second(within 3 days after respiratory muscle training)
- Peak cough flow(within 3 days after respiratory muscle training)
- maximal phonation time(within 3 days after respiratory muscle training)
