Interventions
Threshold Inspiratory Muscle Training
Threshold inspiratory muscle training performed using a threshold loading device to improve inspiratory muscle strength. Training is conducted once daily, five times per week for 6 weeks, with intensity starting at 30% and progressively increasing up to 50% of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) based on patient tolerance.
