Enrollment

10 participants

Start Date

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

It is well known that the the training with the IMT device increases the Maximal Inspiratory Pressure. Nonetheless, there are doubts about which muscles are involved during this training. The aim of this study is to determine the diaphragm loading of healthy subjects during the training with a IMT device from a low . Therefore, each subject will be monitored using esophageal and gastric manometry.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study looks at how much effort the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) exerts when people use an inspiratory muscle training (IMT) device — a tool that makes breathing in harder so the breathing muscles get a workout. Understanding the load placed on the diaphragm could help optimize training programs for respiratory patients and athletes. You may be eligible if: - You are over 18 years old - You are a healthy person with no major breathing or health problems You may NOT be eligible if: - You are on anticoagulation (blood thinning) medication - You have lesions in your esophagus or airways - You have abnormal results on spirometry (lung function) testing Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
