BREATHING EXERCISE AND CORRECTION OF POSTURAL STEREOTYPE

摘要: Purpose of this paper was to evaluate effectiveness breathing exercise in sitting position wheelchair on postural stereotype and assessment further objective indicators. Sample consisted 15 respondents with spinal cord injury (SCI), 8 men 7 women. Intervention program has lasted six months, five times a week, the range 20 - 30 minutes. The study included: 1) Chest X-Ray during inhalation exhalation; 2) chest excursion; 3) determination forced vital capacity (FVC) expiratory volume first second (FEV1); 4) treadmill test identify oxygen uptake (VO2) maximum minute ventilation (Vmax). Pretest X-ray showed that difference movement lower ribs exhalation 2-35 mm. Measurement circumference limitation expansion related normal values corrected age sex. Tetraplegics FVC decreased by 30-50 % compared healthy population paraplegics reduced about 80 %. Wheelchair VO2 for all persons SCI were above average (0.89) comparing without disabilities. V max also (38.22). After examination increased 49 (6 45 mm). Circumference inspiration 3.5 1.27 FEV1 5.68 7.61%. decreased, value 0.67. Vmax remained unchanged. In study, using other tests, we have noted influence exercises main respiratory muscles which affects posture.
