简要总结
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a life-threatening condition with long-term complications including respiratory tract infections, respiratory muscle weakness, and abnormal lung functions. This study, therefore, has been designed to ascertain the effect of chest resistance exercise and chest expansion exercise on respiratory muscle strength, lung function, and chest mobility in children with post-operative CDH.
详细描述
With the advances in surgical and neonatal treatment, the survival rates in children with CDH have been improved in the last decades. The surviving children may suffer from long-term complications such as impairments in lung growth (lung hypoplasia), cardiovascular disorders, pulmonary hypertension, gastrointestinal problems, and recurrent occurrence of lower respiratory tract infection. One of the physical therapy techniques used to treat chest disorders via encouraging the normal alignment of respiratory muscles with respiratory rhythm is chest resistance exercise through applying resistance to the sternal and coastal areas .

结局指标
主要结局
Respiratory muscle Strength
时间窗: after 12 weeks
evaluated by using POWER breathe KH2 equipment.
Lung functions
时间窗: after 12 weeks
assessed by the Minispir® Light spirometer with Winspiro® Light software. The child was seated with knees flexed 90° and was asked to hold three deep breaths, take deep inspiration to total lung capacity (TLC), then expire all the air inside the lungs to their residual volume (RV) to obtain the variables FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 s) and FVC (forced vital capacity).
次要结局
- Thoracic excursion(after 12 weeks)
