Official title
Effectiveness of Combined Manual Therapy and Pulmonary Exercises on Ventilatory Function in Patients with Restrictive Lung Diseases: a Randomized Control Trial
Overview
This research investigates the effect of selective manual therapy techniques on chest expansion, pulmonary function (FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC ratio), and functional capacity, in restrictive lung disease patients. The research hypothesis will be that no statistically significant difference would be found between manual therapy combined to conventional treatment and conventional treatment alone in restrictive lung disease patients.
Detailed description
A chest physician diagnosed 72 subjects with mild to moderate restrictive lung diseases based on history, physical examination, and a ratio of FEV1/FVC above 80%. Male subjects meeting the following criteria will be included: age ranged from 50 to 60 years, BMI was 18-25 kg/m2, If a patient had a history of hiatus hernia, substantial gastro-esophageal reflux, osteoporosis, acute cardiac events within the last six weeks, congestive heart failure, acute exacerbation, exacerbation six months before, active hemoptysis, or malignant disease, they will be excluded from the study.
The subjects who consented to will be involved and met the recruitment standards randomly assigned. A computer-generated block randomization program will be used. To eliminate bias between groups, the subjects will be randomized into four-person blocks with a 1:1 allocation ratio. To ensure disguised allocation, the randomization code will be maintained in sealed, opaque envelopes consecutively numbered. A single external party will be responsible for administering the randomization
Interventions
- Procedure Combined Manual Therapy and Pulmonary Exercises
Diaphragmatic breathing exercise: Segmental breathing exercises (apical, upper lateral, lower lateral and posterior basal), according to site of consolidation: Active Cycle Breathing Technique (ACBT): Intensive spirometry: It encourages patients to take deep breaths, which helps to expand the lungs and prevent complications such as pneumonia. Rib mobilization from sitting: Rib mobilization from supine: Central Posterior-Anterior (PA) mobilization of thoracic facet joints: Unilateral Poste
Primary outcome measures
- Pulmonary function tests: Assessed by a previously calibrated portable spirometer was used (Niscomed Contec automated spirometer, 97LX89WX36mm). It is a valid test with higher reliability, as ICC = 0.912 for FVC, ICC = 0.953 for FEV1, and ICC = 0.874 for [Time frame: Eight weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Assessment of Chest Expansion and Mobility [Time frame: Eight weeks]
