The Increase of Lung Capacity Using the Lung Master (Pulmonary Exerciser)

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Investigators are studying how a device called The Lung Master device can help people breathe better. The investigational device increases the amount of air our lungs can hold, which is important for overall lung health. The Lung Master is not approved by the FDA. The study has two visits approximately one month apart. In the first visit participants will take a spirometry test, particularly forced vital capacity (FVC), to measure volume change in the lungs. Participants will take the investigational device home to use daily, either in the morning or evening. Use will be recorded in a diary. After one month, participants will return for another spirometry test. Each study visit will take about one to two hours to complete.

Experimental: Lung Function in Young and Older Adults
Lung functions will be assess for two groups: young and older adults. The age range of 19 to 35 is categorized as young adulthood. This age range was selected because the lungs mature around 19-25 years old. The age range above 65 is designated as late adulthood, where lung function gradually declines.
