Inspiratory Muscle Training During Pulmonary Rehabilitation in COPD

Overview

Demonstrate that IMT associated with a conventional pulmonary rehabilitation program allows a significant improvement of dyspnea in subjects with severe or very severe COPD than a conventional pulmonary rehabilitation program alone.
