Brief summary

Results:12 Group 1 (Dog Technic and Longitudinal Stroke) patients responded positively to treatment, there was an increase of 5.1% and 6.1% of the post-intervención PEF and post-intervención, and effort. The results of the scale of Borg by which we measure the level of Dyspnea were positive, a % 54,95, patients noted an improvement in breathing. In addition was confirmed through the means of both groups group 1 in which two techniques were applied was 34,05% more effective than group 2 in which applied only a. After handling pain fell by 38% of the cases. Conclusions:The impact of the technique of Dog-Technic for D1-D4 and the Longitudinal Stroke technique for diaphragm in the volumes of peak expiratory flow (PEF) in asthmatic patients were positive, there was a change of the PEF Post intervention and post-intervención, and effort and showed the most effective group in which only a technique was applied. Furthermore this type of treatment decreased facilitated vertebrae pain and was efficient in the improvement of Dyspnea and the general well-being of the patient.

Interventions

We used the dog technique, which is a type of thrust. This is a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust to restore specific joint motion .This technique was used in the D1 through D4 vertebrae. ( Group 1 ) The other technique was the longitudinal stroke, which treats the myofascial tissue. Here the force is constant until the dysfunctional tissues are guided along a path of least resistance and free movement is achieved. (Group 2 ) These techniques were utilized to see if the vertebral pain and d

We used the dog technique, which is a type of thrust. This is a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust to restore specific joint motion .This technique was used in the D1 through D4 vertebrae. ( Group 1 ) The other technique was the longitudinal stroke, which treats the myofascial tissue. Here the force is constant until the dysfunctional tissues are guided along a path of least resistance and free movement is achieved. (Group 2 ) These techniques were utilized to see if the vertebral pain and dyspnoea diminished, and if the peak expiratory flow (PEF) increased. This study was performed by an osteopath and physiotherapist. The entire treatment lasted approximately 10 minutes, but data was collected immediately after each manipulation within that time frame.. Every participant was treated only one time and in only one group ( in Group 1 or Group 2) No adherence monitoring was necessary. When participants enter, they breath into the spirometer, and the data is recorded. Then they immediately perform a physical activity, consisting of performing 30 complete leg pressings with the torso erected in 45 seconds, and then returning to the standing position. Immediately after this physical activity, the participant breathes into the spirometer again. Next, participants rested for a mean time of 30 seconds. After rest, the physiotherapist performs the treatment (physical manipulation according to group) and immediately the participant breathes into the spirometer and data is measured. Following this, the participant performs the physical activity for a second time, and immediately following, they breath into the spirometer, and the study ends for that individual.
