Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study investigates the effect of two different techniques, stretching of the diaphragm and cervical level impulse technique C3-C4, in the possible spirometric changes, vital capacity (CV), maximum expiratory flow (PEF) and maximum expiratory volume (FEV). in relation to the secondary variables (age, physical activity, BMI, sex). the subjects of the study were informed and clarified doubts about it and its subsequent reading and signing of informed consent. The subjects were randomly selected to determine which intervention group they would belong to (G1: intervention group of the diaphragm muscle stretch technique, G2: intervention group of the cervical rotation rotation impulse technique C3- C4, G3: Combined technique G1 and G2, G4: control group.The evaluation technique is spirometry.The intervention protocol is as follows, first the pre-intervention spirometry is performed, then the corresponding technique (according to intervention group), then the post-intervention spirometry, the intervention technique and at 5 minutes, the intervention technique is performed.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objectives of the study are the following: 1. To evaluate the changes in the values of the simple spirometry after the application of the study techniques: muscle stretching technique of the diaphragm (G1), rotation impulse technique of the cervical level of C3- C4 (G2) and combined technique of both (G3); 2. Determine the influence of these on measurable respiratory parameters by simple spirometry; 3. Compare the spirometric values obtained after applying the study techniques (G1, G2, G3) and the control group (G4: simulation of a previous technique); and 4. Analyze the different variables measured (age, gender, weight, height, sports practice and body mass index) in the effects of the applied treatment.

Participants Outcome Assessors

the masking of the evaluator has been obtained, measuring the association between the response variables at baseline and the intervention group, by means of the variance analysis (ANOVA), for each response variable separately. We have verified that there are no differences between the means of the responses at the baseline level in each assigned intervention group, so that masking at the level of the evaluator has been carried out correctly

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Stretching the diaphragm muscle

The interventor places his hands on the last costal cartilages and the subject makes an inspiration and keeps his hands resisted in the expiration.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Stretching the diaphragm muscle

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Place the hands on the last costal cartilages and maintain the ascent of the ribs in the expiration.

Impulse technique in rotation of cervical level 3 and 4

The thumbs position the head in a double chin and then place it with neutral flexion-extension until focusing on the level of manipulation, ipsilateral lateral flexion and contralateral rotation approximately 45 degrees.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Impulse technique in rotation of cervical level 3 and 4

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

head to double chin position and then placed with neutral flexo-extension until focusing on the level of manipulation, ipsilateral lateral flexion and contralateral rotation approximately 45 degrees.

Combined technique of diaphragm muscle stretch and cervical ro

combine both previous techniques.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Combined technique of diaphragm muscle stretch and cervical rotation impulse technique level 3 and 4
