Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the home-based inspiratory muscle training program on lung functions, dyspnea, inspiratory muscle strength, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Patients are evaluated before the inspiratory muscle training and after 8 weeks of training.
Detailed Description:
The IMT protocol consisted of home-based high-intensity daily training - two cycles of 30 breaths with a 1-min rest between sets, twice a day for 8 weeks using an IMT Threshold device (Threshold IMT Philips® Respironics, Inc). The intensity of the training was set to 50% of each patient's maximal inspiratory pressure measured every week and was adjusted weekly based on the modified Borg scale from 4 to 6 regarding respiratory effort performed during the session. Patients are evaluated before the inspiratory muscle training and after 8 weeks of training.
