简要总结
To determine the effects of manual diaphragmatic release technique (MDRT) versus chest wall expansion exercises on pulmonary function, chest wall expansion and asthma control in patients with asthma.
详细描述
Patients who will meet the inclusion criteria will be recruited by convenient sampling technique and allocated to groups by simple randomization process by sealed opaque enveloped labeled as A for Group A and B for group B. At the beginning of the study, a formal educational session, lasting about 30 minutes will be given by the physiotherapist dealing with the treatment/interventions.
Group A: It will receive MDRT and generalized body stretching. Group B: It will receive Chest Expansion Exercises and generalized body stretching.
Frequency of patient's visit will be tailored with minimum of 2-3 visits per week for 4 weeks.

结局指标
主要结局
Pulmonary Function
时间窗: 4th week
Changes from baseline Pulmonary function test will be measured through Digital SpirometerDigital Spirometer is a hand held device that measures Forced Expiratory Volume 1 (FEV1) in the first second patient exhale and Forced Vital Capacity (FVC).
Chest Expansion
时间窗: 4th week
Changes from baseline Chest expansion is measured by using a measuring tape at 2 different levels of rib cage, upper chest expansion is measured at the third intercostal space at the level of clavicular line and spinous process of fifth thoracic vertebra. Lower chest expansion is measured at the tip of xiphoid process and the spinous process of tenth thoracic vertebra measurements will be taken at the end of deep inspiration and expiration.
次要结局
- Modified Borg Scale(4th week)
- Asthma Control Test(4th week)
