Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Children with Cerebral Palsy : A Systematic Review

Purpose : This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) for patients with cerebral palsy based on domestic and international studies conducted over the past 10 years (2014-2024). Methods : Published articles on IMT for stroke were searched electronically in the databases of RISS, PubMed, Science ON, and KISS. Twelve studies were selected according to the PRISMA guidelines, and they used Jeong’s qualitative evaluation criteria when referring to the checklist presented by the Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network. Results : Seven studies met the study criteria. In the qualitative evaluation, four studies scored 8 out of 10 points, and three scored between 6 and 7 points. Intervention sessions were conducted between 20 and 30 min, each at a frequency of between 2 and 7 sessions per week, for a total of between 4 and 8 weeks. IMT was effective in improving respiratory function, physical activity, and respiratory muscle function in patients with cerebral palsy. Conclusion : The results revealed IMT improves respiratory function, physical activity, and respiratory muscle function in patients with cerebral palsy.
