CHEST , 2001, vol. 120, n° 3, p. 748-756 Doc n°: 102601 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : JF - QUALITE DE VIE , FD331 - BRONCHITE CHRONIQUE - BRONCHIOLITE The aim of the study was to assess the effect of target-flow inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on respiratory muscle function, exercise performance, dyspnea, and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients with COPD. Patients and methods: Twenty patients with severe COPD were randomly assigned to a training group (group T) or to a control group (group C) following a double-blind procedure. Patients in group T (n = 10) trained with 60 to 70% maximal sustained inspiratory pressure (SIPmax) as a training load, and those in group C (n = 10) received no training. Group T trained at home for 30 min daily, 6 days a week for 6 months. Measurements: The measurements performed included spirometry, SIPmax, inspiratory muscle strength, and exercise capacity, which included maximal oxygen uptake ( Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 2001218678 |
