The study outlines burn injury impact, emphasizes need for long-term rehabilitation. Study assesses inspiratory muscle training efficacy in improving respiratory strength, lung function, and exercise capacity in adult burn patients.
The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of adding inspiratory muscle training to pulmonary rehabilitation in adult burn patients. Fifty-two participants were randomly assigned to either inspiratory muscle training plus pulmonary rehabilitation or pulmonary rehabilitation alone for 8 weeks. Inspiratory muscle training consisted of using a Powerbreathe device for inspiratory muscle strengthening.
719 studies on the registry are indexed under Burns; 145 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 52 is above the median of 40 across 524 interventional studies indexed under Burns.

Exclusion Criteria:
Received inspiratory muscle training plus pulmonary rehabilitation program. Powerbreathe device was used for the exercise of the inspiratory muscle strength. Strengthening the inspiratory muscles with the Powerbreathe is similar to weightlifting to strengthen other muscles in the body.
Other: inspiratory exercise · Other: Pulmonary rehabilitation
Received pulmonary rehabilitation program for five sessions per week for 8 weeks. Four resistive exercises, aerobic exercise, and deep breathing exercises, aerobic conditioning exercises on the treadmill. All exercises were performed using variable resistance machines.
Other: Pulmonary rehabilitation
The training consisted of 6 sets of 30 breaths per day, divided into 2 sessions per day. A one-minute rest interval between each set. Training was prescribed 5 days a week for 8 weeks
