This study was designed to examine the effect of incentive spirometry in pulmonary rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy. The incentive spirometer, a device that can help improve breathing and strengthen inspiratory muscles. If the patient assigned to training group, the subjects started to respiratory muscle strengthening exercise using incentive spirometry. The training was performed ten sessions daily, for 4 weeks. Respiratory function tests including forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, Peak cough flow, maximal phonation time were compared before interventions and at the end of exercise.

| Incentive spirometer training | Behavioral | The incentive spirometer, a device that can help improve breathing and strengthen inspiratory muscles. First, the subjects exhaled normally, then placed the mouthpiece in their mouth and sealed their lips around the mouthpiece. Then they inhaled slowly and deeply with their lips sealed tightly on the mouthpiece. After they inhaled as deeply as possible, held their breath for at least 3 seconds, and then removed the mouthpiece from their mouth and breathed out normally. Subjects repeated this technique 10-15 times. When they finished 10-15 exercises, they took a deep breath and coughed. The training was performed ten sessions daily, for 4 weeks. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Forced vital capacity | Forced vital capacity means amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. Measuring FVC is done through spirometry testing. | within 3 days after respiratory muscle training |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| forced expiratory volume in 1 second | within 3 days after respiratory muscle training | |
| Peak cough flow | within 3 days after respiratory muscle training | |
| maximal phonation time |
