Effect of Diaphragmatic Myofascial Release on Pulmonary Function in Kyphotic Adolescents
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Adolescents kyphotic girls will participated in this study. they will divided into two groups. Group A: control group will received therapeutic exercise program with pulmonary training by incentive mechanical respiratory training spirometer. Group B: study group will received the same intervention in group A in addition to diaphragmatic myofascial release. They will assessed at the baseline time and after successive two months of interventions for the following outcomes: Cobb angle by x-ray and pulmonary functions (vital capacity, forced vital capacity and maximum ventilatory volume) by computerized spirometer

Detailed Description
Adolescents kyphotic girls with age ranged from 13-16 years old will participated in this study. they will divided into two groups. Group A: control group will received therapeutic exercise program with pulmonary training by incentive mechanical respiratory training spirometer. Group B: study group will received the same intervention in group A in addition to diaphragmatic myofascial release. both group will received intervention for successive two months. they will assessed at the baseline time and after successive two months of interventions for the following outcomes:
Primary outcome: Cobb angle by x-ray Secondary outcome: pulmonary functions (vital capacity, forced vital capacity and maximum ventilatory volume) by computerized spirometer
