Associations of Maximal Inspiratory Pressure With Lung Hyperinflation, Functional Capacity, and Muscle Strength in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the correlations between inspiratory muscle weakness and some physiological factors were inconclusive. Understanding the relationship between these parameters may potentially be a screening tool for inspiratory muscle weakness. The pu...
