Paper Title:
Effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercise and respiratory muscle stretch gymnastics combined with posture correction exercises on pulmonary function in individuals with forward head posture.
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of the diaphragmatic breathing exercises combined with postural correction exercises and respiratory muscle stretch gymnastics combined with postural correction exercises on pulmonary function in individuals with forward head posture.
This study included a total of 46 participants of age group 20 years to 35 years, both male and female with individuals having Craniovertebral angle <50 degree. Participants were randomly divided into 2 groups- Group A and Group B using the chit system. Group A received postural correction exercises with diaphragmatic breathing exercises and Group B received postural correction exercises with respiratory muscle stretch gymnastics. Both protocols were given for the duration of 3 weeks. Both the groups were assessed for craniovertebral angle and respiratory capacities (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, PEFR) prior commencement of the study and at the end of 3 weeks. Craniovertebral angle was measured using photogrammetry method and respiratory capacities (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, PEFR) was measured using pulmonary function test.
The results of the study concluded that, diaphragmatic breathing exercise combined with posture correction exercises and Respiratory muscle stretch gymnastics combined with posture correction exercises both showed improvement in the Craniovertebral angle and Pulmonary function in forward head posture but Respiratory muscle stretch gymnastics was significantly proved to be more effective technique in improving Craniovertebral angle and Pulmonary function when combined posture correction exercises.
