The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of incentive spirometer breathing exercise on pulmonary function and quality of life in the elderly with mild cognitive impairment. To achieve this goal, this study selected 15 elderly with mild cognitive impairment. Subjects carried out incentive spirometer breathing exercise be composed of exhalation and inhalation breathing exercise for 6 set, 5 times per week for 5 weeks. Subjects were assessed pulmonary function(FVC, FEV1, PEF) using spirometer and quality of life using GQOL-D at pre and post. In pulmonary function test, the post outcome was significantly increased than the pre outcome (p<0.05). In quality of life evaluation, the post outcome was increased than pre outcome. The result of this study show that the incentive spirometer breathing exercise may be appropriate for improving the pulmonary function and quality of life in the elderly with mild cognitive impairment.
