简要总结
The aim of the study was to examine the acute effect of self-proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching on chest mobility, posterior muscle chain mobility and respiratory functions in caregivers of children with developmental delays. In the study: 1. Does self-PNF stretching have an effect on chest mobility and posterior muscle chain mobility in caregivers of children with developmental delay? 2. Does self-PNF stretching have an effect on respiratory functions in caregivers of children with developmental delays? The questions were answered.
详细描述
A cross-over randomized controlled study was designed with 30 caregivers of children with developmental disabilities. Using the online randomization method, caregivers were first assigned to either the PNF stretching group or the static stretching group. Before and after the application, rib cage mobility was evaluated by chest circumference measurement, hamstring muscle mobility by popliteal angle measurement, lumbar region mobility by Schober Test, posterior muscle chain mobility by Finger-Floor Distance Measurement Test, and respiratory functions by Respiratory Function Test. The caregiver, who entered a 1-day cleansing period, repeated the evaluation and technique application with the stretching technique that was not applied the next day.

结局指标
主要结局
Chest Mobility Measurement 3- Subcostal region
时间窗: Duration of change in 1 day.
Normal resting tidal volume, chest width during maximum inspiration and maximum expiration were measured from the subcostal region with a tape measure and recorded in centimeters.
Chest Mobility Measurement 1- Axillary region
时间窗: Duration of change in 1 day.
Normal resting tidal volume, chest width during maximum inspiration and maximum expiration were measured from the axillary region with a tape measure and recorded in centimeters.
Chest Mobility Measurement 2- Xiphoid region
时间窗: Duration of change in 1 day.
Normal resting tidal volume, chest width during maximum inspiration and maximum expiration were measured from the xiphoid (epigastric) region with a tape measure and recorded in centimeters.
