Summary
This study looked at whether 6 weeks of special breathing exercises (inspiratory muscle training) can improve diaphragm strength and reduce shortness of breath in 18 COVID-19 survivors who still had trouble breathing. Participants had proven diaphragm weakness and no other explanation for their symptoms. The goal was to see if this simple training could ease their breathing difficulties.
