Acute Effects of Visual Feedback-Assisted Inspiratory Muscle Training After Lobectomy

Evaluation of the Acute Effects of Respiratory Muscle Strength Training With Visual Feedback in Lung Cancer Patients Undergoing Lobectomy

Sponsor

Hacettepe University

Enrollment

40 participants

Start Date

Dec 1, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Respiratory Muscles Exercise Training Lung Cancer (NSCLC)Lobectomy VATS

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the acute effects of inspiratory muscle training performed with and without a mobile application providing visual feedback on exercise motivation, patient adherence, dyspnea perception, usability, and patient satisfaction in lung cancer patients undergoing lobectomy via video-assisted thoracic surgery. Participants will perform conventional inspiratory muscle training without visual feedback in the morning on postoperative day 1 after transfer to the ward. After at least two hours of rest, the same exercise protocol will be repeated with a smart adaptor connected to a mobile application to provide visual feedback. Inspiratory muscle training will be performed using a threshold-loading device at 40% of maximal inspiratory pressure, with three sets of ten breaths. Outcomes will be assessed before and/or after each session as appropriate.

Interventions

OTHERConventional Inspiratory Muscle Training

Conventional inspiratory muscle training will be performed without visual feedback or mobile application support. Training will be delivered using a threshold-loading inspiratory muscle training device at 40% of maximal inspiratory pressure, with three sets of ten breaths.

OTHERVisual Feedback-Assisted Inspiratory Muscle Training

Visual feedback-assisted inspiratory muscle training will be performed using a threshold-loading inspiratory muscle training device connected to a smart adaptor and mobile application. The mobile application will provide visual feedback during training. Training will be performed at 40% of maximal inspiratory pressure, with three sets of ten breaths. Application-derived data, including the number of successful breaths, total training duration, and total number of breaths, will be recorded.
