"Hi,
I just got my incentive spirometer in the post. My 10 year old son can get the piston up to 2500 and my husband can max it out at 5000 long before he runs out of air. I had a go, and the piston does not move when I suck it. That's not a covid thing, it's just me. That's why I'm learning the clarinet, to make my breathing muscles stronger. Clearly there is scope for improvement anyway..."

Hi SunnyDaze,
There are 2 types of incentive spirometers:
Those that register the amount of air inhaled and those that measure air exhaled.
The 1st type is more common. Patients often focus on inhaling the maximum amount of air and forget that it is only possible to inhale if the lungs are empty. Meaning you need to exhale the maximum amount of air before inhaling again.
Try this: before inhaling through the spirometer, exhale as much air as possible, then inhale through the mouthpiece, slowly trying to keep the little ball floating in its marked area, not shooting all the way up.
