About this study

The participants were recruited according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants were divided into two groups - incentive spirometer and inspiratory muscle trainer. These trainings were performed for 6 weeks duration. Several outcome measures related to pulmonary function tests were measured before and after the intervention.
