The impact of posture correction bands on the respiratory function of healthy adults in their twenties: The difference between men and women

Abstract: Introduction:Recently, interest in posture correction has increased in Korea owing to increased smartphone usage. However, there have been no studies to evaluate the impact of wearing a posture correction band with an abdominal band on breathing and respiratory function.Materials and Methods:A total of 32 healthy adults, consisting of 16 men (mean age: 23.19 ± 2.88) and 16 women (mean age: 19.69 ± 1.49) participated in this study. Pulmonary function tests were conducted before and after wearing posture correct… Show more

“…Building on this, another study has reported changes in respiratory function among young adults wearing PCBs, specifically noting significant increases in MEP and PCF in females. 16 Such improvement was linked to the abdominal band of the PCB, which impacts abdominal pressure and contributes to the strengthening of expiratory muscles. Applying these insights to our study, IMT was performed on older individuals using PCBs, a demographic typically characterized by weaker muscle strength than their younger counterparts.…”

“…The abdominal band was carefully adjusted to ensure it provided gentle support without restricting normal breathing patterns. 16 The abdominal band, made of elastic material, was worn in such a manner that its elasticity was adjusted to a comfortable level for normal breathing phases. During forceful inhalation, the band stretched due to its elasticity, accommodating the expansion of the abdomen.…”
