The Threshold IMT provides consistent and specific pressure for inspiratory muscle strength and endurance training for patients regardless of how quickly or slowly a person is breathing. This device incorporates a flow-independent one-way valve to ensure consistent resistance and features an adjustable specific pressure setting to be set by a healthcare professional. When patients inhale through the Threshold IMT, a spring-loaded valve provides a resistance that exercises respiratory muscles through conditioning.
- Step one – patients inhale through the IMT device and resistance is provided by a spring-loaded valve
- Step Two – this action is repeated to condition and develop muscle strength
