Inspiratory Muscle Training in LOPD (Pompe Disease)

Purpose of this Study

We are doing this study to find out if an inspiratory muscle training (IMT) program is beneficial for people with LOPD. We want to know if IMT can help reduce the effects of weakness in breathing muscles and improve the quality of life for people with LOPD.
