Filter by:In our study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of inspiratory muscle training on fear of movement due to dyspnea in COPD patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups. Inspiratory muscle training in the training group will be administered at least 5 days a week, 15 minutes twice a day, beginning at 30% of the MIP for 8 weeks. Patients will come to the control once a week, the MIP values will be re-measured and the new training intensity will be determined at 30% of the new value. For the control group, a fixed training session will be given for at least 5 days a week, 15 minutes twice a day, not exceeding 15% of the MIP for 8 weeks.
Since osteopathy it is considered that the alterations in the mobility of the different structures of the organism could cause a decrease in the blood circulation of the tissue causing a functional disorder and, with time, the appearance of a disease. In visceral osteopathy, the treatment of liver dysfunctions it is important due to their interrelation with the functioning of the rest of the abdominal and pelvic viscera and, especially, through the hepatic portal system. However, there are few studies showing whether a manual therapeutic intervention can affect the mobility, function or vascularization of a viscera. Ultrasonography is an appropriate tool for validating some of these intervention procedures given their safety, repeatability, autonomy and the low cost of the procedures and technical equipment which, in a non-invasive manner, will allow the effects of the different therapeutic interventions to be verified. Hypothesis: 1. Vertebral manipulations and pumping of the liver improve the flow of the portal vein in front of the diaphragmatic breathing and the contraction of the psoas iliac muscle. 2. The accuracy of ultrasound to assess venous flow may be useful as an outcome measure. Objectives: To describe the immediate changes of different manipulative interventions on portal vein flow in healthy women and to obtain baseline measurements for future research. Sample description: Pilot randomized controlled clinical trial with a sample of 50 healthy adult women recruited intentionally sampled that will be pseudo-randomly forcing equality of groups: control, chest manipulation, liver manipulation, abdominal breathing and iliac psoas muscle contraction. The minimum size required has been calculated using the program G*Power 3.1.3 for Windows (University Kiel, Germany, 2008) based on an effect size of 0.5, type I error of 5%,type II error of 10% and an effect size of f=0.45.
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate, the effects of inspiratory muscle training program in inspiratory muscle function, functional capacity, quality of life, lung function, breathing pattern and chest wall motion in patients with advanced lung disease. Patients were evaluated before the inspiratory muscle training, after 8 weeks of training and at follow-up which was performed 3 months after the end of the intervention.
Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT), which is used to strengthen the respiratory muscles, is one of the techniques used in PR. It is mostly used in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and has been shown to be beneficial for functionality and also for relieving dyspnea perception. It is reported in the guidelines that IMT has additional benefit for endurance in COPD patients. However, there are no studies related to its use and effectiveness in lung transplantation. In this study, we hoped to increase these known benefits by adding IMT to the standard Pulmonary Rehabilitation. There are two main objectives of this study: 1. to examine the effect of respiratory muscle training on exercise capacity in lung transplantation candidates, 2. to compare dyspnea perception and lung function changes between the IMT+PR group and the PR group.
The study will assess how the inhalation technique used (deep inhalations versus tidal breathing) influences the results of a mannitol challenge test and a methacholine challenge test, if at all.
It is well-known that not only peripheral muscles, but also respiratory muscles muscle weakness and deconditioning play an important role in low exercise capacity of patients with Heart Failure (HF). Exercise training has been shown to improve exercise tolerance and quality of life in patients with heart disease. However, hearth failure patients with pacemaker such as implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), cardiac resynchronization pacemakers or defibrillators (CRT-P or CRT-D) have additional specific issues when performing exercise. No study investigated the effects of different inspiratory muscle training protocols. For this reason, we aimed to investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle training on outcomes in hearth failure patients with pacemaker
Breathing exercises to improve fatigue and quality of life in hemodialysis patients
Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) is considered the first line medication for asthma, however, the therapeutic effect is markedly different even in patients with almost similar clinical manifestations. Our study was designed to explore the clinical and genetic factors that may influence the effectiveness of ICS in asthmatic children.
The purpose of the study is to verify the efficacy of using end-expiratory and end-inspiratory occlusion tests as an index of fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients with cardiac surgery.
This study comprises a portion of a larger study designed to compare results of vascular function in non-smokers to vascular function in healthy smokers chronically exposed to nicotinized electronic cigarette aerosol versus conventional cigarettes.
