Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and calf muscle exercise training (CMET), in addition to compression therapy (CT), on quality of life (QoL), venous refilling time, disease severity, pain, edema, range of motion, muscle strength, and functionality in patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) compared with CT alone.
