Background: Diaphragm dysfunction is prevalent among individuals with asthma due to lung hyperinflation and hyperventilation in asthma paroxysm. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of the manual diaphragm release technique (MDRT) on diaphragm function in individuals with asthma.
Methods: Adults with diagnosed stable asthma (n = 24), will be recruited from the General Hospital of Kifissia "Agioi Anargyroi" in Athens, Greece.
: Mechanical ventilation is often used in intensive care units to assist patients' breathing. This often leads to respiratory muscle weakness and diaphragmatic dysfunction, causing weaning difficulties. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been found to be beneficial in increasing inspiratory muscle strength and facilitating weaning.
