Delta-V: Respiratory Muscle Training Device
The Delta-V is a respiratory muscle training device designed to strengthen inspiratory and expiratory muscles, benefiting individuals with lung disease, heart disease, dysphagia, neuromuscular conditions, or those looking to enhance respiratory function. It can be used on its own or with an incentive spirometer to measure lung volume improvements. Regular use has been shown to enhance cough effectiveness, improve COâ‚‚ elimination and oxygen saturation, reduce the work of breathing, and support better sleep, speech, and swallowing function. Additionally, it may help increase FEV1%, improve stamina, boost cardiovascular endurance, and accelerate post-exercise recovery.
To use, attach the Delta-V to an incentive spirometer or use it independently. Start at zero resistance to measure baseline lung volume, then adjust the resistance (1-7) for progressive training. Inhale deeply, keeping airflow controlled, and exhale fully. Repeat 5-10 breaths per session, 10 minutes daily, and track progress.
