Study type | Interventional |
This proposed study will evaluate whether a novel nonpharmacological intervention, Breathing Room, can improve lung function in the target population of older adults. Therefore, the primary aim of this pilot is to examine the effect of Breathing Room on inspiratory muscle strength, spirometry confirmed ventilatory function (Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC), functional status, posture, physical activity, and lower respiratory infection rates.

Primary | Change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) | Spirometry testing will be performed using the MicroLoop battery operated portable spirometer to assess changes in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) pre and post intervention | At baseline, after 2 weeks intervention, after 4 weeks intervention | |
Primary | Change in inspiratory muscle strength | MicroRPM Respiratory Pressure Meter will be used to assess changes in inspiratory muscle strength pre and post intervention. The sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP) scores will be recorded pre and post intervention. | At baseline, after 2 weeks intervention, after 4 weeks intervention | |
Primary | Change in functional capacity | The 6 Minute Walk Test will be used to assess the change in functional capacity and endurance pre and post intervention. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity. | At baseline, after 2 weeks intervention, after 4 weeks intervention | |
Primary | Change in grip Strength | A JAMAR hand dynamometer will be used to assess changes in grip strength pre and post intervention. Measurements will be recorded using participants' dominant and non-dominant hand and repeated 3 times to determine maximum grip strength. | At baseline, after 2 weeks intervention, after 4 weeks intervention | |
Primary | Chane in kyphosis index | The flexicurve method will be used to measure the change in the kyphosis index pre and post intervention. To calculate the flexicurve kyphosis index, the apex kyphosis height (B) is divided by the length of the entire thoracic curve (X) and then multiplied by 100 (B/X × 100).
The flexicurve ruler, which is a malleable band of metal covered with plastic and approximately 60 cm in length, will be used. The ruler can be bent in only one plane and retains the shape to which it is bent. The subject will be instructed to stand up straight and as tall as possible, and the flexicurve ruler will be aligned to the spine from C7 to T12. The ruler will be then placed flat on paper and its outline will be traced. |

Primary | Change in forced vital capacity (FVC) | Spirometry testing will be performed using the MicroLoop battery operated portable spirometer to assess changes in forced vital capacity (FVC) pre and post intervention | At baseline, after 2 weeks intervention, after 4 weeks intervention | |
Primary | Change in forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) ratio | Spirometry testing will be performed using the MicroLoop battery operated portable spirometer to assess changes in forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) ratio pre and post intervention | At baseline, after 2 weeks intervention, after 4 weeks intervention |
