The Immediate Effect of Manual Therapy Application on Respiratory Functions in Healthy Young Individuals

NCT05934240 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Manual therapy techniques targeting the thoracic region are commonly used in clinical practice. It has been suggested that manual therapy interventions directed at the spine can increase mobility of the spine and chest wall, which may have a positive impact on lung functions. The potential positive effects of thoracic manipulation on respiratory system diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma have been investigated and continue to be studied. Specifically, the results of studies investigating the physiological outcomes of this therapeutic approach in healthy adults are conflicting. The aim of this study is to investigate the short-term effects of thoracic manipulation and mobilization, as well as diaphragm mobilization, through a single session of manual therapy interventions on respiratory functions.
