Effect of incentive spirometer exercise on pulmonary functions in children with spastic cerebral palsy
Abstract Background Spastic cerebral palsy (CP) patients have lower pulmonary functions than normal healthy individuals as they usually have decreased chest wall mobility, deviation of optimal chest wall structure, and weak respiratory muscles. Purpose The aim was to study the effect of incentive sp...
