The PrO2Health Connected Platform protocol will work if someone can do three breaths. Typically, they will be able to do more in the next session. Just like weight training and other physical conditioning, the effort put forth each session leads to imp...
Training with PrO2, while injured, maintains aerobic capacity when individuals cannot do usual exercise routines. It has been shown to enable the return to competition earlier and with greater lung capacity. The PrO2 training regime has been used acros...
Dysarthria is a speech disorder that affects the muscles used for speech production. It can result from damage to the nervous system, which may be caused by conditions such as stroke, brain injury, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or cerebral p...
Tidal breath (TD) is normal breathing that occurs rhythmically and involuntarily. It is the process of inhaling and exhaling air during regular respiration. Tidal volume is the air breathed in and out during each breath in a resting state. Tidal breath...
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) is the air a person can forcefully inhale after a normal tidal volume inhalation. Tidal volume refers to the normal air breathed in and out during regular, quiet breathing. Inspiratory Reserve Volume represents the addi...
Inspiratory Vital Capacity (IVC) refers to the maximum volume of air a person can inhale after a normal exhalation. It measures lung function and is often used in pulmonary function tests to assess respiratory health. IVC is one of the components of vi...
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) is the additional air a person can forcibly exhale after a normal tidal volume exhalation. In other words, the maximum volume of air that can be breathed out forcefully after a normal breath. ERV is one of the lung volum...
Total lung capacity (TLC) is the maximum air the lungs can hold after inhaling as much air as possible. It is the sum of several lung volumes, including tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, and expiratory reserve volume. Pulmonary function tests c...
The PrO2 is a precision-engineered Bluetooth device linking to tablets or cell phones that offers unique patented measurements of respiratory performance in real-time. It incorporates the proven inspiratory muscle training (IMT) protocol of the Test of...
In COPD, lung scarring occurs, and some lung volumes may be lost. This is due to hyperinflation and mechanical disadvantage, creating poorer operational circumstances for diaphragm movement. IMT does not repair lung damage. By having stronger inspirato...
