Detaljeret beskrivelse

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness, reversible air flow obstruction , and bronchial inflammation, resulting in episodic symptoms such as dyspnea, wheezing, chest tightness and cough. In addition to airway pathology, respiratory mechanics and postural deviations can significantly influence disease severity and functional capacity. Forward head posture is a common postural dysfunction that alters cervical- thoracic alignment, increase upper chest dominance during breathing, reduces rib cage mobility and compromises diaphragmatic efficiency. Correction of forward head posture is expected to improve thoracic expansion, optimize musculoskeletal alignment, and facilitate more efficient breathing mechanics, thereby reducing the work of breathing and improving ventilatory efficiency in asthmatic individuals. The papworth breathing technique is a structured respiratory retraining approach that emphasizes diaphragmatic breathing, nasal breathing, and relaxation strategies to reduce dysfunctional breathing patterns and hyperventilation. it has been shown to improve ventilatory control and may enhance expiratory efficiency, potenitally improving physiological parameters such as positive end expiratory pressure. This study will compare the effects of these two interventions on pulmonary function, asthma control , and postural alignment in asthmatic patients with forward head posture , aiming to determine their relative efficacy in improving respiratory mechanics and functional outcomes.

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Universal goniometer
Tidsramme: 1st day
Forward head posture was assessed using a universal goniometer by measuring the craniovertebral angle .The CVA is defined as the angle formed between a horizontal line passing through the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra(c7) and a line connecting to the tragus of the ear. A smaller CVA reflects increased anterior head displacement and reduced cervical lordosis. A CVA of >50 considered normal , values between 40 to 49 considered mild forward head posture while a CVA <40 represents moderate to severe forward head posture.

Tidsramme
Borg dyspnea scale
Tidsramme: 1st day
The borg dyspnea scale is a subjective tool for assessing the intensity of breathessness in patients, often used in fields like pulmonology, cardiology and sport medicine. it ranges from 0 to 10. 0 very slight and 10 very severe.this scale helps clinicians mointor a patients respiratory symptoms during activities like exercises or rehabilitation and adjust treatment plans accordingly.
1st day
Asthma control questionnaire
Tidsramme: 1st day
The asthma control questionnaire is a widely used tool for assessing asthma control in patients. It measures various aspects of asthma, including symptoms, frequency of rescue inhaler use, and lung function over the past week. the ACQ includes questions rated on a 7 point scale, with higher scores indicating proorer asthma control. this questionnaire helps clinicians guage treatment effectiveness, track symptom progression and adjust care strategies to improve patient quality of life.
