Summary
This study tests whether training the muscles used to breathe in can improve exercise capacity, quality of life, and short-term outcomes in people who have had a lung transplant. Thirty participants will use a device called POWERBreathe Plus® along with standard rehab. The goal is to see if this simple addition helps them breathe easier and get stronger.

- Active substance
- POWERBreathe Plus® device
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple breathing exercise program to help lung transplant patients recover better and feel stronger.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is already available, so the main question is whether it adds benefit over standard rehab.
