No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the selected osteopathic techniques have a positive impact on the residual volume decrease in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with severe and very severe airflow limitation in comparison to the manual therapy not aimed to decrease hyperinflation (placebo).

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

osteopathic manual therapy

* suboccipital decompression - atlanto-occipital joint relaxation technique. * deep cervical fascia release - the technique aims to improve mobility of the first and second ribs during expiration and to relaxation of the vagus and phrenic nerve course area. * thoracic lymphatic pump with activation is designed to reduce the tension of mediastinal structures, improve lymphatic flow, and thus reduce the breathing resistance. * stretching the diaphragm in order to relax and reduce adhesion within the fascial system between the diaphragm and abdominal organs.

OTHER

control group

* manual mobilization techniques of the slides in the shoulder joint toward the front, rear and bottom. * manual techniques to increase range of motion in the shoulder joints using the patient's breathing manoeuvres.
