Brief Summary:
The primary objective of the study was to investigate the immediate effects of PIR technique on chest expansion and pulmonary functions in cigarette smokersThis quasi-experimental pre-test post-test study will be conducted Participants of interest would be approached and explained about the research Informed written consent will be taken Recruited participants will receive PIR technique on assessory respiratory muscles and chest expansion and pulmonary function tests will be obtained before and after the treatment Data collection tools for this study are spirometer and measuring tape
Detailed Description:
Tobacco use particularly cigarette smoking is a major cause of disease and death globally In Pakistan the prevalence of tobacco use has increased significantly with men being more likely to smoke than women Chronic smoking is strongly associated with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases as well as various forms of cancer Smoking negatively affects lung function leading to reduced pulmonary capacity and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Additionally long-term smoking may lead to the loss of respiratory capacity and systemic muscle mass affecting the performance and work of breathing
The primary objective of the study was to investigate the effects of PIR technique on chest expansion and pulmonary functions in cigarette smokers
This quasi-experimental pre-test post-test study will be conducted over one year at FFH FUSH and among the general public A sample will be calculated through pilot study Participants between the ages of 18-60 will be recruited using convenience sampling Inclusion criteria included individuals with min of 2 pack-years of tobacco smoking while exclusion criteria included patients with certain cardiopulmonary medical conditions and those who underwent surgery or physiotherapy within past few months Data collection tools for this study are spirometer and measuring tape
There is little to no literature on the effects of PIR technique on chest expansion and pulmonary functions in cigarette smokers The immediate effects of PIR technique demonstrated in this study will provide physical therapists with valuable insight into its use as a treatment option for smokers to improve their pulmonary function Moreover this study adds to the existing literature on manual therapy and its effects on smokers The findings of this study will provide a basis for future research in the field of musculoskeletal rehabilitation and will encourage future researchers to explore this area further
