Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effectiveness of costovertebral joint mobilization on lung function in asthmatics. By targeting the thoracic region, costovertebral mobilization can play a valuable role in enhancing respiratory function and improving the overall well-being of individuals with respiratory conditions.


Clinical Trial Description

Costovertebral joint mobilization can help to improve this by increasing the mobility of the ribs and thoracic spine, which can help to expand the chest and improve lung function. Additionally, costovertebral joint mobilization can help to reduce muscle tension in the chest and upper back, which can also contribute to improved respiratory function. This is because tense or tight muscles can restrict the movement of the rib cage, limiting the ability of the lungs to expand and contract. Mobilization are performed in three positions, sitting, supine lying and side lying with arm abducted of the side to be mobilized. The improvement by regular physical training of breathing technique and chest wall mechanics may be explained by mobilization of the costovertebral articulations. ;
