Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Asthmatics subjects aged between 18 and 65 years
Exclusion Criteria:
- Were excluded participants who presented neurologic, psychiatric or cognitive pathologies which difficult the cooperation, inflammatory disease of the cervical spine and/or severe orthopedic problems that difficult the daily activities, history of thoracic surgery, vertebral fracture, abnormal thorax radiography, spinal and thoracic structured musculoskeletal disorders and to present any contraindication of treatment techniques (e.g. ostheophorosis). In case of exacerbation of asthma, missing more than one treatment session and/or to appear any contraindication to continue the treatment routine during the six weeks of the study the patient also were excluded.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Inspiratory Muscle training (IMT)
The IMT program consisted of supervised and domiciliary exercises:
|
Inspiratory Muscle training This protocol will be performed using the Powerbreathe classic level 1 device and Yoga Respiratory Exercises (Pranayama)
|
Experimental: IMT + Manual Therapy and Motor Control Exercise
The protocol for this group is identical to the previous group with the sole difference that is added a manual therapy (MT) and a motor control exercises (MCE). The MT protocol was performed for 15min, whereas the MCE was 10min. Below it described both protocols:
|
IMT + Manual Therapy and Motor Control Exercise The Inspiratory Muscle Training protocol will be performed using the Powerbreathe classic level 1 device and Yoga Respiratory Exercises (Pranayama).
Manual Therapy and Motor Control Exercises will consist of joint mobilization/manipulation and exercises in the neck and thoracic regions

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Maximum Inspiratory Pressure
Time Frame: Change from Baseline in Maximum Inspiratory Pressure at 6 weeks
|
The maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) was measured with a device called Kinetic KH1 Powerbreath in cmH2O.
This device applies an inspiratory load which provides a resistance.
The maneuver was performed in a sitting position.
Measuring a minimum of 3 times was performed, recording the highest value

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Head posture
Time Frame: Change from Baseline in Head Posture at 6 weeks
|
The head posture was measured through the Cervical Range of Motion (CROM) device in centimetres.
This instrument measures physiological movements of the cervical spine and head position.
It´s a reliable method of measuring, providing a range of intra-meter reliability from 0.7 to 0.9 and a range of inter-meter reliability from 0.8 to 0.87.
The evaluator instructed the patient to sit in a standardized position and assume a natural position of the head and the goniometer was placed over his head to measure the head posture.
|
Change from Baseline in Head Posture at 6 weeks
|
Thoracic kyphosis
Time Frame: Change from Baseline in Thoracic kyphosis at 6 weeks
|
The measurement of the thoracic kyphosis was performed through flexicurve in degrees.
It is a flexible rule that is molded to the back of the subject in order to replicate the shape of the spine.
The flexicurve is a valid and reliable tool.
The spinous processes of C7 and T12 were located, subsequently it placed on paper 10x10 to draw the curve and to obtained the index flexicurve.

Change from Baseline in Thoracic kyphosis at 6 weeks
|
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
Time Frame: Change from Baseline in Volumes and lung capacities at 6 weeks
|
The measurement of the Forced Vital Capacity was performed through a simple Spirometry.The Spirometry was performed according to American Thoracic Society criteria and was measured in litres.
The maneuver was performed 3 times and recording the best one.
|
Change from Baseline in Volumes and lung capacities at 6 weeks
|
Forced Expiratory Volume at the First second (FEV1)
Time Frame: Change from Baseline in Volumes and lung capacities at 6 weeks
|
The measurement of the Forced Espiratory Volumen at first second was performed through a simple Spirometry.The Spirometry was performed according to American Thoracic Society criteria and was measured in litres.
The maneuver was performed 3 times and recording the best one.
|
Change from Baseline in Volumes and lung capacities at 6 weeks
|
Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)
Time Frame: Change from Baseline in Volumes and lung capacities at 6 weeks
|
The measurement of the Peak Expiratory Flow was performed through a simple Spirometry.The Spirometry was performed according to American Thoracic Society criteria and was measured in litres.
The maneuver was performed 3 times and recording the best one.
