Summary

Evaluate the effect of manual diaphragmatic release on ventilatory functions in women with rheumatoid arthritis

Conditions

  • Rheumatic Arthritis
  • Lung Function

Interventions

OTHER

Aerobic training

For twelve weeks, the women in the study group will participate in aerobic training on cycle ergometer. Each session will consist of 30-45 minutes of cycling at a moderate intensity, accompanied by a workout heart rate ranging from 65% to 75% of the maximal heart rate and ranging between 12 and 14 on the Borg rating of perceived exertion 20-point scale. After ten minutes of warm-up, every session will end with a brief 3-minute period of cool-down.

OTHER

Manual Diaphragm Release

The participant will assume a supine position with relaxed limbs. The therapist should position themselves at the head of the participant and make manual contact with the pisiform, hypothenar region, and the last three fingers on both sides, underneath the seventh to tenth rib costal cartilages. The therapist's forearms should be aligned towards the participant's shoulders. During the inspiratory phase, the therapist gently pulled the points of contact with both hands in the direction of the head and slightly laterally, accompanying the elevation of the ribs. Therapist progressively increases the depth of their contact within the costal margin.
