What this Trial Is About
This study investigates the long-term effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on pulmonary function, functional capacity, and quality of life in individuals with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures who have undergone percutaneous vertebroplasty. Participants aged 50 and older, diagnosed with osteoporosis and having undergone thoracic vertebroplasty within the past 3 months, will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group (IMT + standard rehabilitation) or a control group (standard rehabilitation only). The primary outcome measure is spirometry-based pulmonary function. Secondary outcome measures include inspiratory muscle strength, functional walking capacity (6-minute walk test), diaphragmatic structure and elasticity, and quality of life (SGRQ, NHP). This randomized controlled trial will be conducted at the Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Unit of Nuh Naci Yazgan University and aims to provide scientific evidence for integrating IMT into routine post-vertebroplasty rehabilitation protocols.
