Aim: To determine the effects of stretch pole exercises on pulmonary functions among smartphone users.Objective: To evaluate the effects of stretch pole exercises on FEV 1 , FVC, and FEV1/FVC. Method: A total of 10 patients were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Detailed procedure was explained to the patient in colloquial terms, and informed consent was obtained. They were allocated in a single group and were treated with stretch pole exercises. After four weeks forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second and the ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity was measured as a post test.Result: Based on the obtained statistics, there was significant improvement in FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratio at the end of four weeks within the group when compared to the pre-test values (p<0.05). Conclusion:The study concluded that the stretch pole exercises both clinically and statistically have significant effect in improving forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second and their ratio among smartphone users.Therefore, the implementation of these exercises is recommended in clinical practice.
