Effects of Intradialytic Inspiratory Muscle Training on Functional Capacity in Hemodialysis Patients
Sponsor: Baskent University
Summary
There is a need for long-term sustainable studies that will increase the potential health benefits in hemodialysis patients. Inspiratory muscle training, one of the recommended treatments to increase exercise capacity and quality of life during dialysis treatment in people with chronic renal failure, is a method that can be applied intradialytically, in addition to being easy to apply, cheap and sustainable. It improves functional capacity by increasing respiratory muscle strength. In this context, our study aims to investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle training on functional parameters and on hemodialysis patients with a personalized portable device and to add it to the literature.

inspiratory muscle training
Powerbreathe® threshold resistance loading device (POWERbreathe, HaB International) will be used for this training program that strengthens the inspiratory muscles. The PowerBreathe® device is a threshold device that creates resistance to inspiration. This resistance is created by the spring tension in the device mechanism. The device has a mechanism that is adjusted according to 9 different levels in its mechanism specific to the individuals using it.
