4.1 The strength exercise
Important:
A nose clip must be used for carrying out the exercises set
out below. Breathe freely without the handheld patient module between
individual exercises to ensure sufficient tidal breathing.
Each individual strength exercise consists of an inspiratory manoeuvre
against near-maximum resistance. The respiratory muscles, in particular
the diaphragm, are under maximum strain. In the strength exercise, the
cross-section of the air duct is reduced to such an extent that only a
minimum volume of air can be aspirated.
Each inspiratory manoeuvre will start from a state of maximum
exhalation (residual volume). During inhalation, the dumbbell, the icon for
the strength exercise, is raised in accordance with the negative pressure
achieved. In order for an exercise to be successfully completed, the
dumbbell must be held above the preset minimum strength value for one
second.
One strength training (exercise block) consists of up to 20 individual
exercises. The doctor / therapist determines how many individual
exercises should be included in an exercise block. Once all individual
exercises have been successfully completed, the exercise block is
closed and stored on the datakey as a successful training session.
For each exercise block, a defined number of failed attempts may be
permitted. It is deemed to be a failed attempt if the preset minimum
