Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔-Measure baseline MIP
-Patient sits, flow resistor set to lowest setting, patient instructed to inhale
slowly.
-If patient's insp pressure is <30% of their measured MIP, increase
resistance level until a 30% effort is achieved
,-Instruct to use BID 10-15m, building up to 30m
Incentive Spirometry/ Sustained Maximal Inspiration indication - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔Prevent or treat ATX for patient who are able to breathe spont and take
a deep breath, and follow instructions

unable to take a deep breath or follow instructions for IS (cognitive issues)
