Individualized respiratory exercise device originated in Türkiye: design, prototype, and first results
The novel respiratory exercise device successfully combines IMT and EMT functions with an incentive spirometer, enabling comprehensive respiratory exercises and RMT within a single unit. Its ease of use and adaptability make it a promising option for both clinical and home-based rehabilitation, potentially improving accessibility and adherence to cardiorespiratory rehabilitation protocols. Further clinical studies will investigate the effects of this novel device in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.
