N2  - This study was conducted to detect and compare the effectiveness  of inspiratory muscle trainer and incentive spirometer on pulmonary function  in post-menopausal asthma. Thirty women complained from post-menopausal  asthma , ages ranged from 50-60 years ,they were selected form New Kasr  Aini Teaching Hospital. They were divided randomly into two groups equal  in number, each group contained 15 patients. Patients in group (A): managed  with inspiratory muscle trainer in addition to traditional chest physical therapy  intervention (Deep breath, cough training) while patients in group (B):  received traditional chest physical therapy intervention and incentive  spirometer. Patients in both groups were assessed before as well as after 6  weeks of treatment to measure lung functions using electronic spirometer.  Results: The analysis of the results of the current study showed that  pulmonary functions in postmenopausal women significantly improved in  inspiratry muscle trainer than incentive spirometer as it was indicated by  improvements in FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC and MVV in group (A) than in group (B)
