Effects of Balloon-blowing Exercises in 90/90 Bridge Position With a Ball on Pulmonary Function Among Asthmatic Patients

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Asthma

In brief

In asthma, the airways in the respiratory system can experience inflammation and constriction, causing increased difficulty in expelling air during exhalation. This results in disruptions to respiratory parameters, exercise intolerance, and a diminished overall quality of life.Engaging in balloon-blowing exercises while in a 90/90 bridge position with the use of a ball will lead to enhanced pulmonary function and quality of life in individuals with asthma.
