Summary

This study investigates the effect of two different techniques, stretching of the diaphragm and cervical level impulse technique C3-C4, in the possible spirometric changes, vital capacity (CV), maximum expiratory flow (PEF) and maximum expiratory volume (FEV). in relation to the secondary variables (age, physical activity, BMI, sex). the subjects of the study were informed and clarified doubts about it and its subsequent reading and signing of informed consent. The subjects were randomly selected to determine which intervention group they would belong to (G1: intervention group of the diaphragm muscle stretch technique, G2: intervention group of the cervical rotation rotation impulse technique C3- C4, G3: Combined technique G1 and G2, G4: control group.The evaluation technique is spirometry.The intervention protocol is as follows, first the pre-intervention spirometry is performed, then the corresponding technique (according to intervention group), then the post-intervention spirometry, the intervention technique and at 5 minutes, the intervention technique is performed.

Conditions

  • Respiratory Disease

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Stretching the diaphragm muscle

Place the hands on the last costal cartilages and maintain the ascent of the ribs in the expiration.

PROCEDURE

Impulse technique in rotation of cervical level 3 and 4

head to double chin position and then placed with neutral flexo-extension until focusing on the level of manipulation, ipsilateral lateral flexion and contralateral rotation approximately 45 degrees.

PROCEDURE

Combined technique of diaphragm muscle stretch and cervical rotation impulse technique level 3 and 4

The same initial position, hand placement and technique guidelines will be used, cited in each of the techniques performed in the "intervention 1" group and the "intervention 2" group.
