Abstract: Objective: To analyze the feasibility of progressive resistance inspiratory muscle training in the treatment of respiratory dysfunction in patients with cervical spinal cord injury. Methods: The 60 cases of patients with cervical spinal cord injury in a hospital are selected as the research object and randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 30 cases in each group. The control group is treated with routine rehabilitation therapy. The patients in the experimental group are treated with progressive resistance inspiratory muscle training after routine rehabilitation therapy. The degree of dyspnea and the incidence of respiratory complications are compared between the two groups. Results: The patients in the experimental group and the control group had significantly improved respiratory dysfunction after treatment, but the experimental group had a higher improvement in the degree of dyspnea and the incidence of respiratory complications is decreased. Conclusions: Progressive resistance inspiratory muscles training for patients with cervical spinal cord injury can effectively improve the respiratory system and reduce the incidence of complications.
