Summary

Inspiratory muscle training(IMT) was one of the widely used pulmonary rehabilitation method in COPD patients.However, when the respiratory muscles are fatigue without sufficient rest, IMT may increase muscle fatigue and aggravate muscle damage. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) is another important strategy of pulmonary rehabilitation which could overcome airway resistance and reduce respiratory work, improve respiratory muscle fatigue. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the effective of the "IMT - NPPV sequential" rehabilitation method, that is, first inspiratory muscle training, followed by respiratory muscle resting (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation).

Detailed description

Exploring the effects of the new rehabilitation method of "IMT - NPPV sequential", comparing with the single rehabilitation strategy such as inspiratory muscle training and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation.

Conditions

• Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	inspiratory pressure threshold device	The threshold loading device is composed of a mouth -piece attached to a small plastic cylinder that contains a spring-loaded poppet value. The valve opens to permit inspiratory flow only once the person has generated adequate negative intrathoracic pressure to condense the spring.
