Abstract
Background. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is complicated by the presence of frequent and recurrent acute exacerbations. The patients are asymptomatic and stable in the early stages. They develop weakness of primary respiratory muscles and use accessory muscles which lead to postural changes. The forward head posture in the neck is very common in COPD patients due to increased usage of accessory muscles and aging changes. The objective of this study is to determine the immediate effect of Kinesio-taping on lung function and respiratory muscle strength in stable COPD patients and age matched healthy individuals.
Methods. 20 stable COPD patients and 20 age matched asymptomatic participants were assessed for the pulmonary function test by Spiro lab machine and respiratory muscle strength using Micro RPM machine before applying the KT. The outcomes were repeated 30 minutes after applying the KT for correcting the forward head posture. The with-in group and between group comparison of the variables before and after the application of KT was done using student t-test.
Results. A significant correlation was found in the baseline parameters of age (p = 0.011); PEF (p = 0.004) and physical activity levels
(p = 0.039). The application of Kinesio tape proved to be beneficial by improving the lung and respiratory parameters of FVC (p = 0.002) and MEP (p = 0.22) among the COPD group.
Conclusions. Our study concluded that, application of kinesio-tape can be an adjunct to conventional breathing exercises for COPD patients. There is improved lung function and reduced rate of perceived exertion after application of kinesio-tape.

Abstract

Background. The influence of respiratory rehabilitation on lung dynamic capacity parameters and physical efficiency of patients suffering from Chronic Obturative Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has been examined for the period of three weeks. COPD is the most frequently chronic disease of lungs. It makes healthcare, economical and social significant problems of the world. There are 4-5 million people suffering on obturative diseases in Poland. Material and methods. 16 individuals (5 women, 11 men) suffered from Chronic Obturative Pulmonary Disease (COPD) from S. Staszic Regional Specialistic Hospital of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease care in Ludwikowo participated in the study. Patients’ were about 58.5 years old. All the individuals participated in 3-weeks rehabilitation, composed of kinesitherapy generally improvement, diaphragm path breathing exercises, implementation of physical agents as well as cykloergometer training, and physiotherapy (inhalations with broncholytic agents, expose chest to radiation using Solux lamp with red filter, expose solar plexus to radiation with Bioptron lamp, patting the chest, relaxing hand massage or vibratory massage of chest). Results of the treatment were evaluated by using a spirometer abc PNEUMO PC, RS, 2000 and the six — minute walking test. To the evaluation of lungs function were used respiratory parameters: (FVC) — forced vital capacity, (FEV1) — forced expiratory volume in one second, (FEV1 % FVC) ratio of the forced expiratory volume in one second to the forced vital capacity, (MEF25, MEF50, MEF75) — maximal expira-tory flow when 25%, 50%, 75% of vital capacity, (PEF) — peak expiratory flow. Results and Conclusions. After 3-weeks rehabilitation 12% improvement of in patients spirometric parameters was observed. After 3 — weeks rehabilitation patients suffering from (COPD) displayed a significant improvement (15.5%) in a six—minute walking test, also their capacity to spare energy increased (9.7%). The aforementioned results points on very effective influence at pul-monary rehabilitation on improvement of spirometric parameters of patients suffered from COPD.

Streszczenie

Objectives. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients suffers from respiratory muscle dysfunction. The current study aimed to assess the effect of combined respiratory muscle training (both inspiratory and expiratory) on pulmonary function and health status of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. Methods. Sixty men (40-60 years old) with (COPD) were enrolled. They were assigned randomly with 30 patients allocated to the control group and 30 patients allocated to the experimental group. The control group received a guideline protocol chest physiotherapy, whereas the experimental group received the same program in addition to respiratory muscle training using power lung device. Both groups received the treatment sessions three times per week for 3 successive months. Measurement of ventilatory function, respiratory muscle strength and the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) was done before and after the intervention. Results. Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in ventilatory function and respiratory muscle Strength after treatment, with significantly greater improvements seen in the experimental group. No significant difference was detected between groups regarding (CAT). Conclusions. Training both inspiratory and expiratory muscles improves pulmonary function and health status in in patients with COPD.
