Study Arms (2)

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will receive IMT for 30 min (15x2), 7 times per week for 8 weeks using inspiratory muscle trainer device (PowerBreathe). During training, patients will be instructed to maintain diaphragmatic breathing. Inspiratory load will be set at 40-60% of maximum inspiratory pressure. Each week, six training sessions will be held at home and a training session will be supervised with physiotherapist.

Other: Inspiratory muscle training

Control

NO INTERVENTION

No additional intervention

Interventions

The treatment group will receive inspiratory muscle training.
