In higher thoracic Spinal Cord Injury, respiratory function reduces and due to fatigue patient becomes dyspneic easily even after small workout.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of Inspiratory muscle trainer (power breathe) and breathing exercise on sprint timing and maximum inspiratory capacity or pressure inside the lungs.
Methodology: Samples of 45 subjects with upper t.. Read More»
