Full textAbstract:
Background: COVID-19 affects the multiorgan system, mostly the respiratory system. Symptoms might vary from upper respiratory manifestation to acute respiratory distress syndrome, with the main feature being impairment of gas exchange. This pulmonary impairment might lead to a decrease in functional capacity, which cause activity limitation. Thus, COVID-19 patient requires the right pulmonary rehabilitation strategy to improve pulmonary function and prevent further pulmonary complications. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of incentive spirometry and diaphragm breathing exercise on cardiorespiratory functional capacity in COVID-19 patients. Methods: Subjects were divided into two groups of breathing exercises, the incentive spirometry group and the diaphragm breathing exercise group. They performed breathing exercises for 5 days, and the functional capacity was measured by a test named 4-meter gait time test (4MGT) and 30 sit-to-stand test (30STS). The test was taken before and after performing breathing exercises. Results: These two respiratory exercises significantly affected the functional capacity in a good manner (p < 0.05). The incentive spirometry had improved 30STS (P = 0.763) and 4MGT results (P = 0.674), as well as diaphragm breathing exercise did to 30STS (P = 0.456) and 4MGS (P = 0.441). Conclusion: In conclusion, diaphragm breathing exercises and incentive spirometry improved the functional capacity of COVID-19 patients. However, incentive spirometry showed a larger effect on 30STS and 4MGT compared to diaphragm breathing exercises.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Asthma is defined as a chronic inflammatory disorder of airways characterized by reversible airflow obstruction causing cough, wheeze, chest tightness and shortness of breath Crompton et al7Asthmatic attacks are set up by exposure to specific allergens such as house dust mite, pollen and animal dander. Some other factors are exercise particularly running, dyes, air pollution, infection, cigarette smoke, dry inhaled air, certain foods such as fish, eggs, yeast, and wheat which presumably reach the bronchi via blood stream. There is noticeable increase in healthcare burden from asthma in several areas of world .The most frequently mentioned aims of breathing exercises are to ‘normalize’ breathing pattern by adopting a slower respiratory rate with longer expiration and reduction of hyperventilation and hyperinflation. Training also frequently involves encouraging nasal breathing and a diaphragmatic breathing pattern.AQLQ AND SF36 questionnaire was used as outcome measure.Methods: The sample size of this study was 30 subjects with 15 subjects in each group. The group A was given breathing exercises interventions and group B was given aerobic exercises intervention. A written consent was taken from each before their participation into the study. Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) and SF-36 quality of life Questionnaire of both the groups were taken in 0 week and both groups were assigned treatment interventions and after 3 weeks the AQLQ and SF-36 quality of life questionnaire has been repeated.The independent variables in the study were Aerobic Exercises and Breathing Exercises.Conclusion: The breathing exercise intervention was effective in improving the quality of life in asthmatic patients.The aerobic exercise intervention was also effective in improving the quality of life in asthmatic patients.However, the quantum of reduction in lung obstruction and therefore, the overall improvement in quality of life found to be more significant with the aerobic exercise intervention than breathing exercise intervention. Thus,a combination of the breathing exercises and aerobic exercise should be incorporated into the pulmonary rehabilitation program of the asthmatic patients.

Breathing control exercises are an important component of occupational therapy in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Delivering these exercises in group settings may enhance their benefits. Therefore, this study assessed the effectiveness of breathing control exercises delivered in a group format to patients with severe COPD remitting from an acute pulmonary exacerbation. This randomized controlled trial of 6 weeks’ duration compared the addition of breathing exercise sessions delivered in a group setting to a standard exercise inpatient rehabilitation program (usual care) versus usual care alone. The standard exercise program consisted of endurance and strength training and therapeutic patient education. The intervention group received, in addition to usual care, 20 sessions of 30 min duration of breathing control exercises in a group setting. The primary outcome was quality of life (Saint George’s Respiratory Questionnaire). Secondary outcomes were the COPD assessment test, modified Borg scale, handgrip strength test, and five-time sit-to-stand test. Thirty-seven patients aged 69 ± 7 years were recruited. After the 6-week period, all outcomes significantly improved and exceeded the minimal clinically important difference in the intervention group only. Between-group changes were significant for each outcome. Conclusions: breathing control exercises in a group setting provide clinically relevant benefits in patients with severe COPD who are remitting from an acute pulmonary exacerbation.

Background: Hypertension is recognized as a major health problem throughout the world leading to various life-threatening heart diseases. The higher the level of blood pressure in the long run, the more likely there is a complication of hypertension. Slow breathing exercises are one of the non-pharmacological therapies that can be used to control or reduce blood pressure and strengthening breathing muscles. This systematic review is to analyze the effectiveness of slow breathing training in blood pressure in patients with hypertension.Methods: Literature search is through Scopus, Pubmed, Proquest, Science Direct, and EBSCO. with the last 5 years (2014-2019). Criteria for inclusion in this review are as follows: studies involving hypertension, ages 18 years and over, patients who have received or are still receiving slow breathing exercises. Keyword in this review was Slow Breathing, Blood Pressure, and Hypertension.Results: There are 10 journals chosen. Total respondents in this review were 1757 hypertensive patients who received slow respiratory therapy. Slow breathing training provides many benefits for hypertensive patients. Subjects with hypertension, pre-hypertension, and antihypertensive drugs, were given slow breathing intervention that is inhaling as much as ≤10 breaths/minute carried out for ≥5 minutes. This exercise is carried out at ≥3 days/week; total duration of intervention ≥4 weeks; Slow breathing training reduces blood pressure at rest, the average using this slow breathing exercise, blood pressure drops 10 -15 mmHg in systole and diastole. Overall, slow breathing exercises decreased SBP by -5.62 mmHg [-7.86, -3.38] and DBP by -2.97 mmHg [-4.28, -1.66].Conclusion: Slow breathing training provides many benefits for hypertensive patients. Especially for patients with isolated systolic hypertension. This non-pharmacological therapy can be carried out by individuals independently in controlling the breathing rate so that they can reach breathing speed both during inspiration and expiration. Slow breathing exercises can also help increase baroreflex sensitivity, then affect blood pressure reduction.

Introduction: Asthma is characterized by a narrowing and inflammation of the bronchi, with symptoms of dyspnea, fatigue and exercise limitation. Physical therapy includes inspiratory muscle training and breathing exercises, given that an increase in inspiratory muscle strength and resistance can improve the symptoms of the disease.
Objective: To describe the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and breathing exercises in children with asthma.
Methods: This is a systematic review of the literature using the Cochrane, PubMed Scopus e Web of Science databases. The following descriptors were used: asthma, inspiratory muscle training, breathing exercises and child in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Two independent evaluators screened studies that used breathing exercises and IMT in children with asthma.
Results: Of a total of 312 titles, eight studies were included, of which six are randomized clinical trials and two are observational studies All the studies included breathing exercises, with the objective of adjusting breathing patterns and pulmonary ventilation, reducing pulmonary hyperinflation, bronchospasm and sensation of dyspnea. However, as these exercises were not performed solely, the effects of this intervention could not be verified. Two studies performed IMT and showed an increase in maximal respiratory pressure.
Conclusion: Breathing exercises are widely used in clinical practice as part of the management of asthma in children; however it is not possible to measure the effects in this population. IMT seems to improve inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength, but its indication in the pediatric population is not a standard procedure.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Poor control of asthma can reduce the quality of life of asthma patients. Doing breathing exercises and regular physical exercise can increase asthma control. Exercises that can be done are a combination of Buteyko breathing techniques and walking exercises. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of a combination of Buteyko breathing techniques and walking exercises on athma control. Methods: The design of this study was quasi experimental with pretest-posttest control group design. The location of the study was in the pulmonary clinic of Regional General Hospital of Sidoarjo Regency and Bangil Regional General Hospital in Pasuruan Regency, East Java. Respondents were selected by randomization by simple random sampling. Respondents in this study amounted to 76 respondents. Asthma control were measured using Asthma Control Test. The intervention group was given a combination exercise with Buteyko breathing technique and walking exercise for 8 weeks, 3x per week, 55 minutes every training session. Giving a combination of Buteyko breathing technique and walking exercises using module and video media. Asthma control measurements were carried out 3 times (pre test, week 4, week 8). Data were analyzed using SPSS 22 with GLM-RM (General Linear Model-Repeated Measure) ANOVA. Result: The research results showed a significant difference in the astma control value between before and after 4 weeks and 8 weeks of the intervention in the treatment group with p = 0.000(p <0.05). Discussion:The combination of Buteyko breathing techniques and walking exercise increase asthma control through the mechanism of increasing CO2 and producing nitric oxide which has bronchodilation effects and through decreasing inflammatory mediators so that it can reduce asthma symptoms. This exercise can be used as an alternative choice in supporting pharmacological therapy to improve asthma control.

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of analyzing the conduct of breathing exercises in gymnastics classes. The purpose of the article is to analyze the scientific and methodological literature on the problem of research and determination of the peculiarities of diaphragmatic breathing at rest and after exercise, as well as the rules for performing nasal breathing. It should be noted that all the links of the functional respiratory system do not work in isolation, but in close relationship with other systems of the body. At the same time, it is important to remember that only a person, unlike animals, is given the ability and ability to consciously, purposefully change, regulate breathing, control his breathing, train it. This is possible due to the presence of a person's self-awareness. Vast scientific experience confirms that breathing exercises are important and effective therapeutic and health-improving means. Systematic special breathing training – changes in breathing conditions and load regulation during breathing exercises affect the adaptive mechanisms of the body, which can significantly increase the efficiency and economy of external respiration and, at the same time, make the physiological reserves and adaptive capabilities of the body more stable.

These discomforts can occur in their third trimester of pregnancy, such as backache, leg cramps, pain in pubic bones, false contraction, insomnia, breathing soreness, and fatigue. Exercise that can be done during pregnancy is practicing breathing techniques and body exercises (Prenatal Yoga). This is because the body stretches the muscles more relaxed, so that blood circulation works properly and the body produces endorphins. This study aimed to find out the effect of breathing relaxation techniques and body exercises on the discomfort decrease in the third trimester of pregnant women. Type of study was Quasi Experiment with Non-Equivalent Control Group approach by examining the pregnant women’s discomforts in the third trimester before (pre-test) and after (post- test) practicing breathing techniques and body exercises (Prenatal Yoga). The population were all the third trimester pregnant women who practiced breathing techniques and body exercises at Kasih Ibu Mother and Child Hospital. The sampling technique used was quota sampling. This study carried out from October to November 2020. The Wilcoxon test results obtained p value = 0.000, then p = 0.000> = 0.05, it can be concluded that there was significant difference between of third trimester pregnant women before and after doing breathing relaxation techniques and exercise body. There is an effect of Prenatal Yoga practice on discomfort in third trimester pregnant women. Key words: Discomforts, Breathing Relaxation Techniques and Body Exercises (Prenatal Yoga)

This study aimed to compare the effects of cervical stabilization exercises with breathing exercises and cervical stabilization exercises with thoracic spine extension exercises on respiratory function in subjects with forward head posture (FHP). The study included 30 adults with FHP. They were divided into two groups—experimental (EG) and control (CG)—with 15 participants in each group. The EG was asked to perform cervical stabilization exercises with breathing exercises, and the CG was asked to perform cervical stabilization exercises with thoracic spine extension exercises. After 4 weeks of exercise, the changes in respiratory function were measured again. The results showed significant differences in the EG before and after exercise in terms of forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), peak expiratory flow (PEF), and forced vital capacity/vital capacity max (FVC/VCmax%) (p < 0.05). The CG showed only a significant increase in FVC, FEV1, and FVC/VCmax% after the experiment (p < 0.05). In the between-group comparison, there were significant differences noted in FVC, FEV1, PEF, and FVC/VCmax% in the EG compared to the CG (p < 0.05). As a result, cervical stabilization exercises with breathing exercises are recommended to promote respiratory function.

Full textAbstract:
Background & Aim: Forward Head Posture (FHP) causes the diaphragm to lose its ability to expand and ventilate, decreasing lung functioning which results in decreased forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR). This study aimed to determine the effects of breathing exercises in adults with FHP and to find out the co-relationship between PEFR and cranio-vertebral angle (CVA). Method: An experimental study with 30 subjects aged between 18 to 50 years were included. The subjects were divided into two groups. The experimental group was instructed to perform breathing exercises and posture correction exercises five days a week for four weeks, whereas the control group was asked to perform only posture correction exercises. Craniovertebral Angle and Peak Expiratory Flow Rate values were measured before and after the intervention in both groups. Results: Within- and between-group changes in CVA and PEFR were observed in both the experimental and control groups. The peak expiratory flow rate showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p = 0.042), and the craniovertebral angle measurements were also highly significant among both groups (p = 0.000). Conclusion: This study concluded that the inclusion of the breathing exercise program along with posture correction exercises is more effective than posture correction exercise alone in people with forward head posture. Key words: forward head posture, breathing exercises, posture correction exercises, peak expiratory flow, CVA craniovertebral angle

Breathing exercises reduce stress and improve overall mental well-being. There are various types of breathing exercises. Performing the exercises correctly may give the best outcome and doing it in wrong ways can sometimes have adverse effect. Providing real-time biofeedback can greatly improve the user experience in doing the right exercises in the right ways. In this paper, we present methods to passively track breathing biomarkers in real-time using wireless commodity earbuds and generate feedback on users' breathing performance. We use the earbud's low-power accelerometer to generate a comprehensive set of breathing biomarkers including breathing phase, breathing rate, depth of breathing, and breathing symmetry. We have conducted studies where the subjects performed different types of guided breathing exercises while wearing the earbuds. Our algorithms detect breathing phases with 90.91% F1-score and estimate breathing rate with 95.05% accuracy. We further show that our algorithms can be used to generate biofeedback towards designing engaging smartphone's user interactions that facilitate users to accurately perform various breathing exercises.

Full textAbstract:
Respiration is an indispensable aspect of life that significantly influences both the physical and mental well-being of individuals, depending on such factors as depth and rhythm. Exploring the distinctions between chest and abdominal breathing is crucial for understanding their profound impacts, and embracing appropriate breathing exercises has proven to be advantageous for short-term relief and long-term holistic health. While acknowledged for diverse therapeutic applications, such as mitigating vocal cord fatigue, a comprehensive exploration of breathing exercises remains essential. Sport scientists and coaches are encouraged to acquire a set of breathing exercises for future implementation in the training routines. This study strives to conduct an interdisciplinary literature review to shed light on the aims, meaning, and classification of breathing exercises. Employing a literature review methodology, were analysed peer-reviewed articles from PubMed and ScienceDirect published during the years from 2000 to 2023, focusing on such keywords as breathing exercises, deep breathing, nasal breathing, abdominal breathing, thoracic breathing, pursed-lip breathing, breathing control, and respiratory muscle training. The research findings illustrate the multifaceted definitions, components, aims, and classifications of breathing exercises. This study establishes a foundation for identifying distinct subtypes, contributing to a more nuanced understanding of the significance and purpose of breathing exercises in enhancing overall well-being.

Background: Pleural effusion is one of the commonly seen respiratory conditions in India with approximately 1 million people being diagnosed each year. Twenty to forty percent of hospitalized patients with bacterial pneumonia develop pleural effusion. In India unlike western countries, tuberculosis pleura effusion is common. The pleural cavity is involved in approximately 5% of all patients with tuberculosis. Since there was no literature regarding the effectiveness chest mobility exercise with staked breathing or chest mobility exercises with incentive spirometery in pleural effusion. There was a need to find out as to which approach are the best ones to implement. Objective: To compare the efficacy of chest mobility exercise with stacked breathing versus chest mobility exercise with incentive spirometery on chest expansion in patients with pleural effusion. Materials and Method: 20 patients with pleural effusion were selected by easy sampling and randomly assigned into two groups (10 patients each groups). Group A received chest mobility exercises and intensive spirometery and group B received chest mobility exercises and stacked breathing. Both groups were instructed to perform the intervention 3 time per day, 8 to 10 time per session for one week. Chest expansion was measured by thoracic flow cytometry before and after one week of intervention. Result: In group A chest expansion increase from 2.68 to 2.87 which was statistically significant (P value < 0.0023). In Group B the chest expansion increases from 2.94 to 3.09 which was not statistically significant (P value < 0.216). Conclusion: It was concluded from the result that both chest mobility exercises with intensive spirometery and chest mobility exercise with stacked breathing are equally effective in improving the chest expansion in subject with pleural effusion.

Full textAbstract:
Context: Post-cardiothoracic surgical chest tube removal (CTR) is considered a painful technique and one of the most painful patients' experiences in the intensive care unit. Painkillers are the most prevalent method to relieve the pain, but the patient may not respond well and achieved complete relaxation. Regardless of scientific advances, no efficient action is possessed to decrease pain and anxiety because of it.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of cold application and breathing exercises on pain and anxiety levels following chest tube removal.
Methods: A quasi-experimental design (one group pre/post-test) was utilized to achieve the aim. This study was conducted in the Intensive Care Unit at the Cardio-Thoracic Academy Affiliated to Ain Shams University Hospital, Cairo. A Purposive sample included 60 patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgical procedures and having at least two chest tubes in place. Data were collected using three tools; a structured interviewing questionnaire, pain intensity assessment visual numeric scale, short-form McGill pain assessment questionnaire, modified comfort scale, and breathing exercise checklist.
Results: This study revealed that patients suffer from severe pain before CTR without cold application and breathing exercise (61.7%), or with the application of them (66.7%), the pain level improved during removal as 80% of patients display no pain when using the cold application and breathing exercise that increased to 95% after 10-15 minute of removal compared to 8.3% when cold application and breathing exercise not used. Otherwise, the anxiety level decreased during CTR as 58.3% had mild anxiety level with cold application and breathing exercises compared to 38.3% had a very severe anxiety level. Mild anxiety level increased to 91.7% after 10-15 minutes of CTR compared to 16.7 % when CTR without application.
Conclusion: Cold application and breathing exercises are useful for reducing patients' pain and anxiety levels associated with chest tube removal after cardiothoracic surgery. Encouraging critical care nurses to use cold application and breathing exercises as a non-pharmacological pain relief technique during chest tube removal was highly recommended.

Educational aimsTo summarise the evidence of the role of breathing control approaches in the management of asthmaTo provide information on the content of evidence-based breathing exercises programmesSummaryAsthma is a complex, multi-dimensional condition that affects patients in many ways. Having asthma is inherently stressful and psychological problems are common and associated with poor asthma outcomes. Although most patients in clinical trials can achieve high levels of control with optimised pharmacotherapy, in “real-life” practice, poor control is common, with over-reliance on rescue bronchodilator medication and ongoing symptoms and quality-of-life impairment. Many patients are interested in non-pharmacological treatments to improve asthma control, particularly breathing control exercises but, until recently, the evidence base has been inadequate. The place of breathing exercises has been controversial, partly because some proponents have made exaggerated, implausible claims of effectiveness. Recent evidence, however, has resulted in endorsement of breathing exercises as add-on treatment in asthma in systematic reviews and guidelines.This review summarises the current evidence of effectiveness of breathing exercises programmes as an adjuvant treatment to pharmacological strategies for people with asthma. The types of breathing training programmes used and the content of effective programmes are discussed. We conclude that patients whose asthma continues to cause symptoms and quality-of-life impairment, despite adequate pharmacological treatment, or who have high bronchodilator use, should be offered access to an effective breathing training programme as a part of holistic, integrated asthma care.Key pointsAsthma is frequently poorly controlled despite effective modern medicationPsychological factors can be as important as physiological ones in affecting symptom perception and disease impactBreathing exercises can improve patient-reported outcomes and psychological stateBreathing exercises should be offered to all asthma patients with symptoms or impaired quality of life despite standard treatment

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the influence of inspiratory muscle fatigue on muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and blood pressure (BP) response during submaximal exercise. We hypothesized that inspiratory muscle fatigue would elicit increases in sympathetic vasoconstrictor outflow and BP during dynamic leg exercise. The subjects carried out four submaximal exercise tests: two were maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax) tests and two were MSNA tests. In the PImax tests, the subjects performed two 10-min exercises at 40% peak oxygen uptake using a cycle ergometer in a semirecumbent position [spontaneous breathing for 5 min and with or without inspiratory resistive breathing for 5 min (breathing frequency: 60 breaths/min, inspiratory and expiratory times were each set at 0.5 s)]. Before and immediately after exercise, PImax was estimated. In MSNA tests, the subjects performed two 15-min exercises (spontaneous breathing for 5 min, with or without inspiratory resistive breathing for 5 min, and spontaneous breathing for 5 min). MSNA was recorded via microneurography of the right median nerve at the elbow. PImax decreased following exercise with resistive breathing, whereas no change was found without resistance. The time-dependent increase in MSNA burst frequency (BF) appeared during exercise with inspiratory resistive breathing, accompanied by an augmentation of diastolic BP (DBP) (with resistance: MSNA, BF +83.4%; DBP, +23.8%; without resistance: MSNA BF, +19.2%; DBP, −0.4%, from spontaneous breathing during exercise). These results suggest that inspiratory muscle fatigue induces increases in muscle sympathetic vasomotor outflow and BP during dynamic leg exercise at mild intensity.

Abstract Breathing exercises with biofeedback have benefits over breathing exercises without biofeedback. However, the traditional measurement of respiratory signals that is required as part of feeding back the breath incurs high cost and effort. We propose a novel virtual reality (VR) based approach to respiratory biofeedback that utilizes the positionally tracked hand controllers integrated into modern VR systems to capture and feedback the respiration-induced abdominal movements. In a randomized controlled laboratory study, we investigated the feasibility and efficacy of the developed biofeedback algorithm. In total, 72 participants performed a short breathing exercise in VR with or without respiratory biofeedback. The feedback integration resulted in a satisfactory user experience, a heightened breath awareness, a greater focus on slow diaphragmatic breathing and an increased respiratory sinus arrhythmia. This evidences that the novel biofeedback approach is low-cost, unobtrusive, usable and effective in increasing breath awareness and promoting slow diaphragmatic breathing in the context of VR-based breathing exercises. Future studies need to investigate the broader applicability and long-term effects.

Full textAbstract:
Fracture becomes a musculoskeletal problem caused primarily by a traumatic injury to the bone. Fractures cause patients to experience pain both before and after surgery. Giving non-pharmacological therapy in fracture patient like deep breathing exercises aim to optimize nursing care to reduce pain and improve comfort. The purpose of this study is to review the literature on deep breathing exercises for reducing post-operative pain in fracture patients. The research design was a literature review made from Google Scholar dan ScienceDirect. The inclusion criteria used were fracture patients; experimental research designs; research articles discussing fractures, deep breathing exercises, and pain; use of Indonesian or English; accessible full-text; and the year of publication 2018-2022. The process of searching and selecting articles uses the prism flow diagram systematic literature review method which will then be categorized based on levels of evidence. Based on the analysis of research articles using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tools, it was found that deep breathing exercises can help reduce post-operative pain in fracture patients. One journal combined deep breathing exercises and range of motion, two articles combined music therapy, and three articles focused solely on deep breathing exercises. The literature had one level of evidence, namely Level 2. Four articles were quasi-experimental studies (2.c) and three articles were pre-experimental studies (2.d). The study concluded that deep breathing exercise is one of the non-pharmacological therapies that can help reduce post-operative pain in fracture patients. This study is expected to add to the literature by providing nursing interventions to reduce post-operative pain in fracture patients.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Children are anxious about dental procedures and the anaesthetic needle’s sight and feeling have been identified as the most fear-eliciting stimuli. Psychologists have used ‘play therapy’ to modify child behaviour to alleviate pain and anxiety during elective surgery in children. The pinwheel and bubble blower have been used in play therapy for children to bring about deep breathing which in turn brings about relaxation and anxiety reduction. Objectives: To evaluate and compare the use of two relaxation breathing exercises for anxiety reduction before and after administration of local anaesthesia for 6–12-year-old children undergoing dental treatment. Method: Forty-five children were divided into 3 groups as control, pinwheel breathing exercise and bubble blowing breathing exercise. The children were given a demonstration of the breathing exercise before local anaesthesia administration and asked to perform the exercise for 3 to 5 minutes. Anxiety was measured before and after administration of local anaesthesia with pulse rate and Venham’s picture scale score. Results: Post-operative rise in pulse rate was seen in all groups but was statistically significant in the control group and the bubble blowing breathing exercise group (p<0.05). The least rise was seen in the pinwheel breathing exercise group. The post-injection Venham’s picture test score was the same as the pre-injection score in the pinwheel exercise group but had increased for the other two groups which was statistically not significant. Conclusions: The play therapy relaxation breathing exercises can be successfully used for anxiety reduction in children receiving local anaesthesia.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that causes breathlessness, cough with sputum, and chest tightness due to which there is a decrease in respiratory muscle strength that further leads to elevating these symptoms due to minute allergen. Due to these symptoms, there is a significant decrease in PFT values i.e. FEV1, FVC, and the ratio (FEV1/FVC). So, there is a need for a study to check the effect of the IMT device along with the breathing retraining exercises on breathlessness, 6-minute walk distance, and PFT. Methodology: A case study was designed to assess the effect of IMT and breathing retraining exercises on the respiratory muscles of asthmatic patient of age 20-25 years old. This study is designed for 21 days and IMT device was prescribed twice a day with 30 repetitions each whereas Breathing retraining exercises were prescribed twice a day with 2 sets of each exercise and 15 repetitions each. Pre- and post-values of PFT, 6-minute walk distance, fatigue severity score (FSS), and mMRC scale for dyspnea were noted and data was analyzed via MS Excel. Result: According to the current study, there is a significant improvement in FEV1, FVC, and the ratio of these. This study shows that IMT devices and breathing retraining exercises are helpful in alleviating breathlessness and FSS. A significant improvement shows in the 6-minute walk distance after 21 days of protocol of IMT and breathing retraining exercises. Conclusion: The study shows significant improvements in respiratory parameters, breathlessness, and functional capacity after implementing Inspiratory Muscle Training devices and breathing retraining exercises. These interventions alleviate breathlessness and reduce FSS, making them valuable components of comprehensive respiratory care strategies. Key words: IMT Device, Breathing Retraining Technique, PFT, FSS, mMRC

Full textAbstract:
Clinical Scenario:Research has shown a link between poor core stability and chronic, nonspecific low back pain, with data to suggest that alterations in core muscle activation patterns, breathing patterns, lung function, and diaphragm mechanics may occur. Traditional treatment approaches for chronic, nonspecific low back pain focus on exercise and manual therapy interventions, however it is not clear whether breathing exercises are effective in treating back pain.Focused Clinical Question:In adults with chronic, nonspecific low back pain, are breathing exercises effective in reducing pain, improving respiratory function, and/or health related quality of life?Summary of Key Findings:Following a literature search, 3 studies were identified for inclusion in the review. All reviewed studies were critically appraised at level 2 evidence and reported improvements in either low back pain or quality of life following breathing program intervention.Clinical Bottom Line:Exercise programs were shown to be effective in improving lung function, reducing back pain, and improving quality of life. Breathing program frequencies ranged from daily to 2–3 times per week, with durations ranging from 4 to 8 weeks. Based on these results, athletic trainers and physical therapists caring for patients with chronic, nonspecific low back pain should consider the inclusion of breathing exercises for the treatment of back pain when such treatments align with the clinician’s own judgment and clinical expertise and the patient’s preferences and values.Strength of Recommendation:Grade B evidence exists to support the use of breathing exercises in the treatment of chronic, nonspecific low back pain.
