VERIFICATION OF LUNG VOLUME CAPACITY BEFORE AND AFTER MANIPULATION

Abstract

The effects of manipulation grade 5 are rarely addressed in literature, but are of great relevance for physiotherapy in order that functional recovery is the main goal in physical therapy. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the thrust of skeletal structures in lung volumes before and after handling. The study was longitudinal cause and effect where the population was comprised of academic course of physiotherapy of Assisi School Gurgacz and the criteria for inclusion in the sample were aged 18 to 30 year old female with involvement of the thoracic vertebra and lumbar or cervical. All procedures were conducted in clinically integrated FAG, during the first quarter 2010. Participants were divided into two groups depending on the level of injury, a cervical lesion group and group 2 with thoraco-lumbar injury with concomitant injury. To follow the testing of spinal injury and after spirometry to verify capacity and lung volumes. In the next step was held to evaluate the segment-defining manipulation to be performed for individuals with cervical injury was also performed to test DeKleyn. After correction joint was again held spirometry. The results of pre and post intervention were analyzed with SPSS 15.0 where he found that there was no change in lung volumes for both groups.
