EMST 150 with the IA 150 adapter for drug free breathing exercise to combat COPD

The EMST 150 along with the IA 150 adapter is the best breathing exerciser for your lungs to strengthen and maintain your respiratory muscle strength

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) also known as emphysema or chronic bronchitis is a progressive disorder mainly affecting the lungs. The major symptom of COPD is breathlessness (Dyspnea) caused due to the inability of the respiratory muscles to redirect the flow of air in and out of the lungs.

COPD can be developed any time and it could progress quickly depending upon the lifestyle of the individual. Pulmonary rehabilitation refers to the idea of exercising and improving/maintaing the strength of your lungs in order to prevent the quick progression of COPD. One of the key programs in pulmonary rehabilitation is the Respiratory muscle strength training (RMST). RMST is an umbrella term which involves both Inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) & Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST). Performing RMST helps to slow the weakening of the respiratory muscles and improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from COPD.

The IA 150 adapter attached to the EMST 150

The IA 150 adapter is an essential tool which, coupled with the EMST 150 or the EMST 75 Lite, serves as a breathing exerciser for your lungs. Being the most important part of RMST, IMST helps individuals with COPD achieve greater respiratory strength and a better quality of life – as indicated in this study. Furthermore, it also improves the cognitive function and increases the diaphragmatic thickness which increases airflow to the lungs.

The IA 150 - Best breathing exerciser to practice inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST)

According to this research article, IMST not just improves the maximum inspiratory pressure i.e the maximum air inhaled in one breath, it also reduces breathlessness (Dyspnea) by increasing the respiratory muscle growth. Therefore, including IMST as a daily exercise regime with the IA 150 adapter can help you combat COPD and achieve a greater quality of life.
