Abstract:

Introduction and Aim: Asthmatic children have increased inspiratory muscle work due to the airway obstruction and dynamic hyperinflation that develops resistance to airflow of the lung. Obstruction of airways during exercise reduces the maximal expiratory flow volume curve and results in airflow limitation. Materials and Methods: A quasi experimental study performed in 30 children with bronchial asthma. All participants were allocated into 2 groups using consecutive sampling, Odd-Even method. Experimental and control group. Both the group participants were assessed for FEV1 and PEFR as a pretest following which Group A, was treated with Osteopathic manipulation technique with Diaphragmatic breathing exercise along with postural drainage according to the need of the patient. Group B was treated with diaphragmatic breathing exercise alone along with postural drainage according to the need of the patient. Both the groups were treated for a period of 2 months with a frequency 3 days a week. Following which post-test is performed same as of pretest. Results: Statistically significant results were observed in comparing both Group A and Group B, with the p value < 0.05 for FEV1 and PEFR. Group A is higher than Group B in comparing the post-test mean scores. Conclusion: Osteopathic manipulative technique was effective on peak expiratory flow rate and forced expiratory volume in one second among childhood asthma participants. © 2017 Indian Association of Biomedical Scientists.
