Objective: It was aimed to compare the effects of manual therapy (MT) and Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) on respiratory functions and postural problems of young adults in this study. Material and Methods: Thirty-five volunteers were randomly allocated into IMT and MT groups. All participants received twenty minutes of IMT twice a week for four weeks. Eight sessions of manual therapy were applied to MT group in addition to IMT. Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC ratio, Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), forward head posture (FHP) and thoracic hyperkyphosis were evaluated before and after the treatments. Results: Although there were significant improvements in the FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC ratio and PEF scores of MT group (p0.05). The comparisons of post-treatment scores of the FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC ratio and PEF between the groups revealed the greater improvements in the MT group than IMT group (p
Bronşektazi; bronşların anormal, kalıcı ve geri dönüşü olmayan dilatasyonu ile karakterize klinik olarak öksürük, balgam üretimi ve tekrarlayan solunum yolu enfeksiyonlarına neden olan kronik inflamatuar bir akciğer hastalığıdır. Bronşektazinin altta yatan birçok nedeni vardır. Bronşektazide pulmoner rehabilitasyon; egzersiz eğitimi, hava yolu temizleme teknikleri, kas-iskelet sistemine yönelik yaklaşımlar, solunum işini azaltmaya dayalı teknikler ve hasta eğitimini içermektedir. Bronşektazili hastalara kişiselleştirilmiş pulmoner rehabilitasyon programları planlanıp uygulanması yaşam kalitesini ve fiziksel kapasiteyi artırmak açısından oldukça değerlidir. Rehabilitasyonun uzun vadeli sonuçları ile ilgili daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır. Geleneksel pulmoner rehabilitasyon programlarının bronşektazi için optimize edilmesi gerekmektedir.
