Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) is a type of therapy or exercise that focuses on strengthening the muscles involved in inhalation, specifically the muscles responsible for expanding the lungs and drawing air into the respiratory system. These muscles...
Telerehabilitation provides rehabilitation services through telecommunication technologies, typically videoconferencing and remote monitoring. It allows healthcare professionals to deliver rehabilitation therapies and services to patients who cannot at...
You can purchase a unit online or ask your therapists if they can provide one. We always suggest working with a clinician when possible since they are well-trained in managing respiratory health. They can set up remote patient monitoring (RPM) to help ...

We suggest educating yourself before starting a respiratory muscle training (RMT) program and working with a clinician with first-hand knowledge. This clinical study consisted of over 200 COVID-19 sufferers with a positive impact on breathlessness, fat...
Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (MIP), also known as maximal inspiratory pressure or negative (opposing) inspiratory force, measures the strength of the inspiratory muscles, particularly the diaphragm and the muscles between the ribs (intercostal muscles)...
Sustained Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (SMIP) measures respiratory muscle strength and endurance. It is a parameter used in pulmonary function testing to assess the muscles' strength in inhalation. SMIP is measured by having the individual generate max...
The heart and lungs are interdependent, which is the basis of cardiorespiratory fitness. This includes Ventilation/Perfusion (V/Q) relationships within the lungs and throughout the body. Without blood supply or O2 delivery, things do not function at th...
A spirometer is a simple device for measuring the flow and volume of air. This essentially overlooks the primary mover… EFFORT from contracting respiratory muscles. PrO2 devices measure the muscle and lung function combination, which equals RESPIRATORY...
No, the PrO2 is not a threshold device and is not limited to Residual Volume (RV) training. It provides real-time feedback displayed on a phone or tablet, offering unlimited levels of conditioning based on individuals’ capability and capacity.
