Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Study Group
Participants from the study group will follow an upper airway reinforcement regimen using the IOPI device over 6 weeks. The reinforcement protocol will be adapted each week to improve Percentage of initial strength Exercises will be adapted each week
IOPI
IOPI is a portable device with a tongue bulb used to reinforce upper airway muscles.
Control group
Participants from the control group will perform a sham reeducation protocol using an "EMT threshold" at minimal resistance. The expiratory pressure will remain unchanged over the weeks.
EMT threshold
EMT threshold is a small portable device producing a positive expiratory pressure when the patient is exhaling.
