Highlights
- •
Pre-bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has a positive impact on patients’ clinic.
- •
Adding IMT to standard PR can lead to a greater increase in improvement in exercise capacity and spirometric parameters.
- •
Evaluating the effects of post-PR gains on patient clinic is necessary to make a decision regarding the BLVR procedure.
