연구목적: 본 연구는 만성 뇌졸중 환자를 대상으로 흡기근 저항훈련이 횡격막 두께와 폐기능 및 흉곽 확장에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 수행하였다. 연구방법: 연구 대상자는 총 29명(남자 17명, 여자 12명)으로 흡기근 저항훈련군(15명)과 대조군(14명)으로 분류하였다. 모든 대상자는 6개월 이상된 만성 뇌졸중 환자로 일반적인 신경발달치료를 받고 있으며, 같은 기간 동안 흡기근 저항훈련군에 역치부하 흡기근육 단련기(threshold IMT device)를 제공하고 주 3회${\times}$1회 20분씩 6주간 시행하였다. 마비측과 비마비측 횡격막 두께측정을 위해 초음파의 7.5MHz linear probe를 사용하여 최대 흡기시(Tdi.con)와 휴식시(Tdi.rel)의 두께를 측정하고 수축률(TR)을 계산하였다. 또한 폐 활량계를 사용하여 노력성 폐활량을 측정하였으며, 줄자를 사용하여 흉곽 확장을 측정하였다. 연구결과: 6주간 중재 후 흡기근 저항훈련군에서 최대흡기시 횡격막 두께(Tdi.con)와 수축률(TR)은 유의한 증가를 보였다(p<.05). 1초간 노력성 호기량 ($FEV_1$)과 최대 호기 속도(PEF)도 유의한 증가를 보였으나(p<.05), 노력성 폐활량(FVC)과 1초간 노력성 호기량의 노력성 폐활량에 대한 비($FEV_1$/FVC), 흉곽 확장은 유의한 증가는 보이지 않았다(p>.05). 결론: 본 연구는 만성뇌졸중 환자를 대상으로 흡기근 저항훈련의 적용이 횡격막의 수축력과 폐기능 및 흉곽 확장력을 향상시켜 호흡근의 협응력을 증가시키고, 비활동성으로 인해 감소된 운동내성을 증가하게 함으로써 향후 재활에서 만성 뇌졸중 환자에게 2차적인 기능향상에 도움을 줄수 있을 것으로 보여진다.

The effects of inspiratory muscle training in conjunction with aerobic exercise on inspiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, and maximal oxygen uptake(VO₂max) were examined. Twenty four healthy collegiate men were divided into three groups; respiratory muscle training group(RTG; n=8), running exercise group(REG; n=8), and both respiratory muscle training and running group(BTG; n=8). Their pulmonary function, maximal inspiratory pressures(PImax), and VO₂max were assessed before and after intervention. RTG underwent inspiratory muscle training(IMT) with load set to 50 % of PImax, 30 times per session, twice a day, 4 days a week REG ran on a treadmill at 70-75 % of VO₂max for 30 min a day, 4 days a week. BTG participated both IMT and the running exercise. Participant's anthropometric parameters and pulmonary function were not changed. VO₂max increased by 6.1±3.3 %, 5.9±6.6 %, and 10.0±8.3 % in RTG, REG, and BTG, respectively(p< .05), and PImax also increased by 21.7±14.3 %, 19.7±12.0 %, and 27.0±12.1 % in RTG, REG, and BTG, respectively, but no group differences were found. Based on the study, although statistically insignificant, BTG showed the biggest increase of VO₂max and PImax indicating a possible synergic effect of inspiratory muscle training and aerobic exercise on respiratory responses.

The effect on strength and endurance training (SET) (2 patients) were compared with those of strength training(ST) (2 patients) in patients with-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The result of training was assessed by 4 tests: maximal inspiratory pressure(PImax), sustainable inspiratory pressure (SIP), maximal voluntary ventiiation(MVV) and bronchitis-emphysema symptom checklist(BESC). Measurements were repeated before and after training per week for 6 weeks. The SET group performed inspiratory muscle training, using a inspiratory muscle trainer 30 minutes per day, 6 days per week and performing endurance training-12-minute walking-2 days per week for 6 weeks, whereas the ST-only group trained for 30 minutes daily, 6 days per week using inspiratory muscle trainer. SET was no significant increase in exercise performance, whereas ST produced an increase in SIP and a decrease in BESC. There was significant change in BESC betweet the two groups. A simple at home training program using inspiartory muscle trainer was more effective than that of SET program in improving exercise performance of some patients with COPD.h COPD.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of inspiratory muscle training with chest expansion exercises on pulmonary function, maximal inspiratory pressure, and gait in individuals with stroke. Methods: The participants in this study included 36 stroke patients. These patients were randomly divided into three groups: an inspiratory muscle training (IMT) with chest expansion (CE) group (n=12), an IMT group (n=12), and a control group (n=12). Participants in the IMT with CE group underwent IMT and CE exercises 5 times per week for 30 minutes over 4 weeks, whereas those in the CE group and the control group received IMT and conventional physical therapy, respectively, for the same duration. The investigator measured the patients' pulmonary function, maximal inspiratory pressure, and gait endurance. Results: After the intervention, the change values for the forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), peak expiratory flow (PEF), maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), and six-minute walk test (6MWT) in the IMT with CE group and the control group were significantly greater than those of the control group (p<0.05). Similarly, after the intervention, the change values of the FVC, FEV1, PEF, MIP, and 6MWT in the IMT with CE group were significantly greater than those in the IMT group (p<0.05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that IMT with CE could be used to increase pulmonary function, maximal inspiratory pressure, and gait endurance in stroke patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find the difference in lung function effects between a healthy adult male smoker, non-smoker after inspiratory muscle breathing training. Design: Quasi-experiment design. Method: In this study, we want to compare the effects of the inspiratory muscle breathing training smoker group (n=11) and non-smoker group (n=10) to target the healthy adult 21 people. All participated underwent 30 minutes of inspiratory muscle breathing training (5 times per week, for a total of 4 weeks). Using the spirometer in order to examine the ability to lung function EVC, ERV, FEV1/FVC was measured. Result: The results showed that the smoker group FVC and FEV1 increased statistically significantly (p<0.05). The results showed that the non-smoker group FVC and FEV1 increased statistically significantly (p<0.05). There was no statistical difference between them. Conclusion: This study tested the adult male smoker and the adult male non-smokers using inspiratory muscle breathing training the effect of smoking on lung function.

PURPOSE: This study investigated the immediate effect of inspiratory muscle training with whole-body vibration on the pulmonary function of subacute stroke patients. METHODS: All participants (n=30) were allocated to the following groups: (1) the inspiratory muscle training group with whole-body vibration (n=10), wherein the patients received inspiratory muscle training with whole-body vibration comprising 3minutes of vibration per session and respiratory training of 30 times and 2 sessions for one day. (2) the inspiratory muscle training group with visual feedback (n=10), wherein the patients received inspiratory muscle training with visual feedback. (3) the inspiratory muscle training group (n=10), wherein the patients received inspiratory muscle training. RESULTS: After the experiment, the inspiratory muscle training group with whole-body vibration exhibited significantly higher forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume at 1 second, peak inspiratory flow rate, maximal inspiratory pressure, and chest expansion (p<.05), compared to the other groups. Inspiratory muscle training group with whole-body vibration had significantly higher peak expiratory flow rate and maximal voluntary ventilation than the other groups (p<.05). CONCLUSION: These results show that pulmonary function, maximal inspiratory pressure, and chest expansion were significantly better in the inspiratory muscle training group with whole-body vibration than in the other groups. Thus, this treatment will help recovery of pulmonary function in stroke patients.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence on respiration, oral motor and articulation using wind-instrument centered music therapy for patients with cervical cord injury who need continuous train of respiratory muscle. Three patients with cervical cord injury who needed continuous training of respiratory muscle were selected and post data was analyzed. The harmonica using both exhalation and inspiration was selected as an wind-instrument. Each session was taken 30 ~ 40 minutes, once a week from total 6 weeks with small group. Material about every session's work was provided for individual to maintain practice after program. Oral motor and articulation test was done to assess reflecting features of maximal expiratory flow and wind-instrument of factor related breath. Maximal expiratory flow has increased by average 25ml more, articulation has increased by 3.16 points more and the movement of oral motor has increased 11.67 points more than pre-test from the analyzation. In the comparison of the details, the increase of oral motor function was confirmed from scores on the jaw and tongue except for the lips. Based on the results of this study, this study suggests that wind-instrument centered music therapy will be a practical and effective intervention for respiratory rehabilitation in patients with cervical cord injury.
