Overview

Randomised trial shows inspiratory muscle training improves oxygen uptake and exercise performance in systemic sclerosis-associated lung disease, suggesting therapeutic potential.

Key Points

  • The inspiratory muscle training significantly boosts oxygen uptake, enhancing exercise performance in affected patients.
  • Results indicate notable improvements in exercise performance and tidal volume during a six-minute walking test.
  • Randomised controlled trial involved 24 patients with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease assessing pulmonary function tests.
  • Optimised breathing patterns and increased tidal volume may reduce physiological dead space during exercise, indicating a need for further study.
