Telemedicine-based inspiratory muscle training and walking promotion with lung cancer survivors following curative intent therapy: a parallel-group pilot randomized trial
This study found that virtual promotion of inspiratory muscle training and walking has the potential to improve health-related quality of life in patients with lung cancer following therapy. This is important because many patients with lung cancer experience breathlessness and physical inactivity following their treatments, and this intervention could accelerate their recovery and improve outcomes. First author Duc M. Ha was awarded the Lung Association Lung Cancer Discovery Award.
