PULMONARY FUNCTION

This study tested whether a 20-minute arm cycling exercise, done twice daily for five days, could improve lung function and recovery in 60 elderly patients after colon cancer surgery. Participants also received standard physical therapy. The goal was to see if the arm exercise co…

This study looks at how lung function, respiratory muscle strength, balance, and quality of life relate in Paralympic athletes. Researchers will measure breathing capacity, muscle strength, and balance in 24 athletes from sports like athletics, swimming, archery, and wheelchair b…

This study compares lung function and breathing muscle strength between children with hearing loss and healthy children aged 7–16. Researchers want to see if hearing loss affects more than just hearing—possibly impacting breathing and physical development. The goal is to better u…

This study tested whether using a digital incentive spirometer (TryBreath) for 3 weeks could improve lung function and breathing muscle strength in 30 healthy adults aged 18 to 45. Participants used the device with a mobile app that gave real-time feedback. Researchers measured c…

This study tested a digital incentive spirometer and phone app designed to help patients do breathing exercises after major chest surgery. Thirty-one adults who had lung resection surgery used the device, which included reminders, game-like features, and progress tracking. The go…
