Sponsor's own description
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a respiratory disease that results in progressive airflow limitation and respiratory distress. The benefit of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) combined with a pulmonary rehabilitation programme is uncertain. The investigators aimed to demonstrate that, in patients with obstructive pulmonary disease, IMT performed during a PRP is associated with an improvement of dyspnoea and exercise tolerance.
