Abstract EN
It is aimed to present the usefulness of inspiratory muscle trainer (IMT) in treatment of a 20-year-old male patient with diaphragmatic paralysis and tetraplegia due to spinal cord injury (SCI), and supporting effect of IMT in recovering from respiratory failure by rendering his diaphragm functions.
The treatment was applied through the tracheostomy cannula by a modified IMT device.
After applying IMT for three weeks, it was observed that the diaphragm recovered its functions in electromyography (EMG) test.
As a result, in this study, we present a case where a patient could live without any respiratory device for the rest of his life with the help of modified IMT.
