ABSTRACT

Respiratory muscle training, which applies linear resistance pressures during spontaneous breathing, has had significant effects on respiratory function and endurance..Aim of study wasto evaluate the effect of Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation with manual resistance in upper extremity with respiratory function. Total 45 Patients referred to medicine Physiotherapy department with cardiopulmonary conditions were screened for inclusion criteria among which 30 subjects were selected. Subjects were selected of 18 years and above with mean age group 48.600± 18.005. Participants were evaluated pre intervention with international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ), pre and post intervention using  peak flow meter for analysis of pulmonary function test . Treatment was carried out for 4 weeks. The pre mean and SD of peak flow meter was 222.76 (70.21), post mean was 226.61(61.65) with mean difference -3.855 and P value was <0.0001 which was considered extremely significant .The study concluded that PNF with manual resistance for Upper extremity, is significantly effective in improving the respiratory conditions.

Keywords: Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, respiratory condition, manual resistance ,upper extremity.
