Abstract

The reduced ability of the respiratory muscles in Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) patients is associated with the physical fatigue. Incentive Spirometry (IS) breathing exercise can be used as a strategy to minimize the fatigue through its effect improving bloodstream and oxygenation on the diaphragm and periphery muscles. Creatine Kinase (CK) can be used to monitor muscle damage due to exercise or overtraining status. The study was aimed to investigate the effect of IS on the level of fatigue and CK in blood. A quasi interventional design with a pre- and posttest approach was done to eleven patients with chronic SCI patients. It was measured the fatigue level using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) before and after the treatment. It was also measured the value of CK before treatment and after treatment in 2 and 4 weeks. There was a significant decline in the FSS value, 35.45±9.699 to 25.36±11.918(p=0.007) after 4 weeks intervention. On the other hand, there was a significant increase in CK value, from 111. 63±77.628 U/l to 146.36±81.185 U/l (p=0.033), after 2 weeks intervention. However, it was not significant CK value was to be 127.45±82.117 U/l (p=0.168) after 2 weeks intervention. These findings showed IS breathing exercise after 4 weeks can improve fatigue level and no muscle damage due to IS exercise in chronic SCI patients.
