{"title":"The Immediate Effect of Chest Mobilization Technique on Chest Expansion in Patients of COPD","authors":"Rafiah Doi, Sweety Shah","doi":"10.52403/ijshr.20240309","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52403/ijshr.20240309","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is characterized by chronic airflow obstruction. Patients with COPD often experience reductions in lung volumes and vital capacity due to chronic respiratory muscle weakness. Additionally, they may exhibit decreased lung distensibility, leading to restrictions in lung volume. The passive recoil of the thoracic cage is influenced by gross muscle weakness, altering the neutral position at which lung and cage recoil pressures are balanced. Mobilizing rib cage joints is a specific therapeutic goal, as it aims to improve reduced rib cage mobility commonly observed in obstructive lung disease.\u0000Method: A study was conducted on COPD patients aged over 40 years, specifically including males with VC<80%. Participants with unstable vital parameters, active lung infections, or those requiring continuous oxygen therapy or mechanical ventilation were excluded. The participants were divided into two groups: Group 1 received chest mobilization and breathing exercises, while Group 2 received only breathing exercises. Chest expansion measurements were taken at the 2nd intercostal space, 4th intercostal space, and xiphoid process in both groups before and after the procedures.\u0000Result: Result obtained from SPSS20. Mean-age of Group1 was (61.9+6.0) & of Group2 was (62.05+6.1). Comparison between groups found using independent t-tests. There was significant difference of chest-expansion at 2nd IC, 4th IC and xiphoid process between both the groups. Chest-expansion at 2nd IC(M=2.0), 4th IC(M=2.85) and xiphoid process (M=3.43) was increased in group1 than group2 (M=1.58), (M=2.01) & (M=2.49) having significant difference of p<0.05.\u0000Conclusion: This study concludes that Chest Wall mobilization has significant effect on Chest-expansion in COPD patients. Hence Chest-Mobilization is definite tool for the improving condition of COPD patients, so it should be included as a part of management in COPD patients with other exercise treatment-programs.\u0000\u0000Keywords: Chest mobilization, COPD, Chest expansion, Cloth tape measurement","PeriodicalId":506640,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science and Healthcare Research","volume":"37 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141819461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many houses damaged by earthquakes are simple structures with red brick masonry. This study analyzes the seismic performance of masonry houses using ETABS software, assuming the houses are in seismic zone 4 and built on soft soil. The analysis focuses on the correlation between lateral loads, displacement, and structural stiffness. The results indicate that the maximum lateral load occurs in the X direction, while the maximum displacement occurs in the Y direction, indicating higher flexibility in the Y direction. Higher structural stiffness reduces displacement but also increases inertia forces. The nonlinear correlation between lateral loads and displacement, as well as the decrease in effective structural stiffness with increasing lateral loads, underscores the importance of balancing stiffness and flexibility in structural design. This study provides valuable insights for earthquake-resistant building design, particularly for masonry houses in earthquake-prone areas of Indonesia. The analysis emphasizes the importance of reinforcing critical areas and ensuring a more uniform distribution of lateral loads to enhance structural resilience to earthquakes.\u0000\u0000Keywords:\u0000\u0000ETABS, House, Life Safety, Performance, Seismic","PeriodicalId":506640,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science and Healthcare Research","volume":"119 33","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141820119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OA is the most common form of arthritis. There are two form of OA, Primary and Secondary OA. Kinesiophobia is a condition in which a patient has an excessive, irritational, and debilitating fear of physical movement and activity resulting from a feeling of vulnerability to painful injury or re injury. The influence of biological (exa-gray changes) as well as severity of pain, Kinesiophobia in individual physical functioning.

Both male and female were included. For gradings of OA knee KL grade was taken, for kinesiophobia TAMPA scale was taken, for pain NPRS was taken as an outcome measures.\u0000Result: Spearman co-efficient between KL grade and TAMPA scale is 0.835, which indicates there is moderate to high positive correlation between KL grade and TAMPA scale.
