Enhanced diaphragm excursion and exercise tolerance in COPD patients through inspiratory muscle training after standardised pulmonary rehabilitation: randomised controlled trial

Objective Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is used to improve inspiratory muscle strength in patients with COPD. However, the effect of IMT on diaphragmatic function has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of IMT on maximum diaphragmatic excursion (DEmax) usin...
