Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Physiological Function and Clinical Outcomes After Lung Transplant
Sponsor: Mayo Clinic
Summary
The purpose of this research is to study the effect of training the inspiratory muscles (i.e. the muscle that allow you to breath-in) on exercise capacity, quality of life, and short-term clinical outcomes in patients post lung transplant.

Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation post lung transplant
Pulmonary function, lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, inspiratory muscle strength, and diaphragm dimensions will be assessed in each patient. Each patient will also undergo a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), 6 minute walk test, and an inspiratory muscle endurance test
