Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Cognition
Sponsor: University of West Attica
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of a respiratory muscle strengthening program on the cognitive and physical functioning of patients with neurocognitive disorders (Mild Cognitive Impairment) or those predisposed to them. The main questions that aims to answer are: 1. Is Inpsiratory Muscle Training (IMT) feasible in people with mild cognitive impairement? 2. Could Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) improve congitive function in people with mild cognitive impairement? 3. Could Inspiratory Musclre training improve physical function in this population? Participants will be: 1. \< 60 age or \> 90 age 2. MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination) score ≤ 28 and ≥ 18 and follow a high intensity IMT program along with a physical - cognitive program. or just the physical - cognitive program.
