Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Inspiratory muscle training using Threshold IMT   Duration of the therapy will be up to 45 minutes for minimum of 5 days IMT type – Threshold IMT Frequency – 2 times/day Patient position and exercise procedure: The child will be made to sit on the bed or the chair with the back support. IMT device usage: A nose clip will be placed to prevent the child from breathing through the nose during IMT training. The child will be instructed to keep the lips firmly to the mouthpiece of IMT and take 15 breaths with 10-sec rest intervals for 15 min. The intensity of IMT will be started with 40 % of MIP and graduated based on comfort and individual condition. This training will be along with routine therapy. 
Comparator Agent  Non- IMT   Duration of therapy will be up to 45 minutes along with routine therapy, the child will receive the following types of exercises Duration – Minimum of 5 days Frequency – 2 times/day Patient position and exercise procedure: The child will be made to sit on the bed or the chair with the back support. The child will be instructed to perform the following exercises and take 15 breaths with 10-sec rest intervals for 10 min each. 1. Breathing ball visualization (Hoberman sphere) – Inhale through your nose as the ball expands, pause and then exhale through your nose as the ball contracts. 2. Blowing bubbles (controlled breaths) – the child will be instructed to blow bubbles. 3. Transferring paper balls – the child will be instructed to transfer paper balls from 1 cup to another by taking a deep breath to suck them onto the end of the straw and holding them while they’re transferred. 4. Blowing balloons – the child will be instructed to blow a balloon with the lips sealed onto a mouthpiece. 5. Dragons breath – the child will be instructed to hold the hands beneath the chin, with the fingers interlaced, and while breathing in through the nose, lifting the elbows up. Tip the head out, and exhale through the mouth, unleashing the hot breath of a dragon. Lower the elbows with the exhalation. 6. Paper blowing exercise – the child will be instructed to blow onto a tissue paper.

Brief Summary  

The purpose of this study is to assess the acute effect of IMT training and non-IMT training on respiratory muscle function in children with respiratory conditions.Those fulfilling the inclusion will be assessed, and the demographics noted. The children will then be grouped into either the IMT or non-IMT groups. All the included children will be assessed for MIP and MEP using Micro RPM on the 1st day of inclusion before the treatment and on the 6th day. The study will be a preliminary step towards assessing the acute effect of IMT training compared with non-IMT training. If either of the group is found to be effective in bringing changes in the values of respiratory muscle function, then these strategies may be evaluated further using a good clinical trial as well as this strategy may be included in the routine exercises to improve the respiratory muscle function as well as to prevent the secondary complications.
