Effectiveness of Combined Manual Therapy and Pulmonary Exercises on Ventilatory Function in Patients with Restrictive Lung Diseases
Sponsor: South Valley University
Summary
This research investigates the effect of selective manual therapy techniques on chest expansion, pulmonary function (FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC ratio), and functional capacity, in restrictive lung disease patients. The research hypothesis will be that no statistically significant difference would be found between manual therapy combined to conventional treatment and conventional treatment alone in restrictive lung disease patients.

Interventions
Combined Manual Therapy and Pulmonary Exercises
Diaphragmatic breathing exercise: Segmental breathing exercises (apical, upper lateral, lower lateral and posterior basal), according to site of consolidation: Active Cycle Breathing Technique (ACBT): Intensive spirometry: It encourages patients to take deep breaths, which helps to expand the lungs and prevent complications such as pneumonia. Rib mobilization from sitting: Rib mobilization from supine: Central Posterior-Anterior (PA) mobilization of thoracic facet joints: Unilateral Posterior-Anterior mobilization of costo-vertebral joints: Diaphragmatic myofascial release (DMR): Pectoralis minor myofascial release: Pectoralis major and pectoral fascia myofascial release: Sternocleidomastoid myofascial release: Scalene muscle and neck fascia myofascial release: Mobilize one side of the chest:
