Abstract:
Background: Due to sedentary lifestyles and the use of high-calorie foods, obesity is fast increasing. When breathing normally, the diaphragm contracts, forcing the contents of the abdomen downward and forward. Because of the excess body fat that lines the chest and fills the abdomen in obese people, the normal function of the diaphragm is compromised. As a result, both MIP and MEP are reduced, which limits the action on the respiratory muscles. Distension of the diaphragmatic muscle also results in increased respiratory effort, which mechanically impairs the respiratory muscles.. Obesity's mechanical effects on the diaphragm and chest wall result in diminished thoracic compliance and impaired diaphragmatic excursion. Methods for diaphragmatic facilitation caused abdominal muscles to relax and made diaphragmatic excursions easier. Method of scooping up; aid in diaphragm excursion. The recruitment of diaphragm muscles was enhanced by DCB. Techniques for stretching the diaphragm have an impact; they play a significant role in rib cage and abdominal excursion Aim: To study the effect of diaphragmatic facilitation techniques on diaphragmatic excursion and maximum inspiratory pressure in obese population. Methodology: Participants were briefed about the nature of the study and the intervention. Their informed written consent were taken. 31 obese subjects of age group between 20-52 years old participated in this study. Both males and females included with BMI> 30. Systemic illness, abdominal or thoracic surgeries, dieting or exercise program, any addictions are excluded. Pre-intervention measures of the subjects for diaphragmatic excursion and MIP were taken prior to the treatment. Participant then received diaphragmatic facilitation techniques i.e, diaphragmatic breathing techniques, diaphragmatic scoop up techniques and diaphragmatic stretching techniques. The treatment was given for 3 days per weeks with 25-30 min. of overall duration for 1 session, for 3 consecutive weeks. Outcome measures: Prior and after the treatment both the outcome measures, manual method of diaphragmatic excursion by using inch tape for diaphragmatic excursion and digital manometer for MIP were measured. Results: Statistical analysis was done using Wilcoxon test. The statistical analysis of pre and post intervention data shows there is significant effect on diaphragmatic excursion and MIP in all obese subjects. Conclusion: The study was done on obese subjects to identify the effect of diaphragmatic facilitation techniques on diaphragmatic excursion and MIP. This state that diaphragmatic facilitation techniques are effective on diaphragmatic excursion ( Also according to BMI classification) and MIP was proven to significant p values. Hence, diaphragmatic facilitation techniques is very effective and simple to apply in diaphragmatic excursion and MIP in obese population. According to BMI classification, result of the present study demonstrated that diaphragmatic excursion is statistically significant but the MIP didn’t showed any statistically significant effect in BMI classification
