Correlation between Hand Grip Strength and Peak Inspiratory Flow Rate in Patients with Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Optimal peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR) is required for effective drug delivery to distal airways when using dry powder inhalers (DPIs). This study aimed to examine the association between PIFR and hand grip strength (HGS) in stable COPD patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted. PIFR was me...
