简要总结
This study focused on improving breathing mechanics by using various osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) techniques. The investigators randomly assigned participants to a control group who received sham treatment and a treatment group who received OMT. The investigators measured variable pre- and post- treatment on both groups. The investigators observed an improvement in breathing mechanics in the treatment group.

入选标准
- •Healthy volunteers from Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine (TouroCOM), including students and staff, were recruited as subjects of this study. Any participant with recent or past medical history of obstructive or restrictive lung disorders, recent trauma, or illnesses, and/or chest abnormalities were excluded from the study.
排除标准
- •Certain study results were excluded on the basis of abnormal baseline measurements, including but not limited to, heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, improper spirometer use, technique and/or high variance among the repeated measurements obtained for each participant.
结局指标
主要结局
Change in chest wall excursion
时间窗: Measure assessing a change from baseline chest wall excursion within 5 minutes of treatment completion.
M1 and M2 measurements with a soft tape measure. M1: Level of sternal notch (in centimeters), M2: Level of xiphoid process (in centimeters).
Change in forced vital capacity (FVC)
时间窗: Measure assessing a change from baseline FVC value via pulmonary function testing within 5 minutes of treatment completion.
Measurement of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) as measured via pulmonary function testing.
Change in forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1)
时间窗: Measure assessing a change from baseline in forced expiratory volume at 1 second via pulmonary function testing within 5 minutes of treatment completion.
Measurement of Forced Expiratory Volume at 1 second (FEV1) as measured via pulmonary function testing.
Change in FEV1/FVC ratio
时间窗: Measure assessing a change from baseline FEV1/FVC ratio value via pulmonary function testing within 5 minutes of treatment completion.
Measurement of a ratio between FEV1 and FVC values that are obtained through pulmonary function testing.
次要结局
