Respironics Threshold IMT
What Is It?
The device is used to strengthen the lungs, diaphragm and even the muscles between the ribs to improve the breathing capacity of the user.
How Does the Threshold Inspiratory Muscle Trainer Work?
By providing consistent pressure during breathing, the muscles around the lungs—the diaphragm and intercostal muscles—as well as the lungs themselves receive a form of “strength training.” The pressure is consistent despite the airflow provided by the patient. This allows the user to increase the capacity of each breath.
How to Use the Threshold IMT Device
Adjust the pressure settings as recommended by a physician
Place mouthpiece in the mouth
Breathe in and out as needed against the recommended pressure
There are no set time specifications, see a medical professional for specific time frames
