About this trial

the goal of this clinical trial is to find out the effect of adding proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation to inspiratory muscle training on weaning off mechanical ventilation. the main question it aims to answer is is there a significant difference in the effect of inspiratory muscle training combined with PNF on the duration of weaning in the mechanically ventilated ICU patients.

researchers will compare effect of (Inspiratory muscle training combined with PNF) to (Inspiratory muscle training) and control group.

participants will be mechanically ventilated both sexes patients will be recruited in this study from intensive care unit, their ages older than 18 years. The selected patients will be mechanically ventilated due to respiratory failure and will randomly assigned into three equal groups.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Adults of both sexes

patients older than 18 years

Conscious and cooperative

Disqualifiers

Hemodynamic or respiratory instability

Condition that can compromise weaning, such as heart failure.

Condition that can prevent adequate performance of inspiratory muscle training, such as neuropathy or myopathy.

Thoracic or abdominal surgery precluding the use of PNF exercises
