Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of pulmonary function through intermittent positive pressure
ventilator(IPPV) exercises in the patients with spinal cord injury.
Methods: In order to demonstrate the effect of the study that IPPV group(n=13) and pursed lips breathing(PLB) group(n =11) and general physical therapy(GPT) group(n=9) were randomly assigned to proceed with the study. Measurements of pulmonary function were used CadioTouch3000S(BIONET). The participants were assessed before and after the intervention conducted for 8-weeks.
Results The results of this study were as follows. In the forced vital capacity(FVC), forced expiratory volume 1 second(FEV1), FEV1/FVC, peak expiratory flow(PEF), IPPV group showed a significant difference pre- and post-training(p<.05). In the FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEF, PLB group showed a did not significant difference pre and post-training(p>.05). In the PEF, GPT group showed a significant difference(p＜.05), but in the FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC showed a did not significant difference pre- and post-training(p>.05).
Conclusion: In conclusion of this study, cervical spinal cord injury patients who performed breathing exercise through IPPV showed effective results to improve pulmonary functions.
