Breathing exercise for endurance and mobility in knee arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise (called inspiratory muscle training) can improve your stamina and make it easier to move around if you have knee arthritis. You would practice this exercise along with your usual care, and researchers will check if it helps your heart, lungs, and walking ability.
