Summary

This study will be conducted to investigate any significant effect of pneumatic compression on diaphragmatic excursion in patients with low back dysfunction .

Conditions

  • Low Back Disorder

Interventions

DEVICE

Pneumatic compression device

Training program in the form of resisted inspiratory exercises using pneumatic compression device with abdominal sleeve on the top portion of the abdominal cavity beneath the xiphoid process. The patient used a pursed-lip breathing method to exhale after inhaling slowly through the nose such that the stomach slid out against the abdominal sleeve of the device. For 12 weeks, three times per week, the workout consisted of 10 sets with 4-5 breaths in each set and a rest period of 2-3 minutes.

DEVICE

Inspiratory muscle Trainer

the subject underwent training in the form of six sets of five deep breaths against the trainer, with 1-2 minutes of rest in between sessions. Depending on their rate of perceived exertion, the patient determined the maximum training load at which they could effectively perform 10 breaths at maximum resistance. A load equivalent to 30% of the patient's maximum inspiratory effort was used to begin the training .This unique load gradually increased as the inspiratory muscle got stronger. At the conclusion of the three months, the training programmer had expanded by 5% to 10% per week, reaching 60% of the maximum inspiratory pressure.
