Official title
Response of Lung Function, Chest Mobility, and Kyphotic Curve to Diaphragmatic Myofascial Release in Hyperkyphotic Subjects: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
kyphotic subjects have respiratory disturbances due to weakening of the diaphragm, responsible for inhalation, which lead to abnormalities in respiratory mechanics and abnormal gas exchange, leading to respiratory complications. Myofascial release of the diaphragm is an intervention intended to indirectly stretch the diaphragm muscle fibers to reduce muscle tension, normalize fiber length, and promote the efficiency of muscle contraction. Although diaphragm myofascial release has been used in clinical practice, to the best of the authors' knowledge, the current study is the first research investigating the effect of diaphragmatic myofascial release on lung function, chest mobility and kyphotic curve in hyperkyphotic subjects.
