What this study is

The purpose of this research is to study the effect of training the inspiratory muscles (i.e. the muscle that allow you to breath-in) on exercise capacity, quality of life, and short-term clinical outcomes in patients post lung transplant.

What's being tested

  • POWERBreathe Plus®

    Intervention · DEVICE

    Commercially available pressure-threshold device

  • Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation post lung transplant

    Intervention · OTHER

    Pulmonary function, lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, inspiratory muscle strength, and diaphragm dimensions will be assessed in each patient. Each patient will also undergo a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), 6 minute walk test, and an inspiratory muscle endurance test
