[Does asthma promote changes in static posture? - Systematic review].

Introduction: Considered a public health problem, asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that induces an airflow obstruction, presenting clinical manifestations and heterogeneous therapeutic responses. That obstruction present in asthma patients leads to muscle shortening, which in compensation can promote postural changes, further impairing respiratory mechanics. Therefore, is necessary to synthesize the evidence available in the literature about changes in static posture in asthma patients in order to help guide clinical practice.
