Immediate Effect Of Chest Mobilization Exercises On Pulmonary Function In Chronic Kidney Disease

It is estimated that between 700 and 840 million people globally suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), a serious and progressive disorder with a frequency of 8–14%. Interestingly, one study found that a lower FEV1/FVC ratio was linked to a higher chance of incident chronic kidney disease.This study aims to investigate the effects of chest mobilization on comparing with IMT and breathing exercises on pulmonary function. Method- 100 individuals divided into two groups of 50 each irrespective of gender. Group 1 performing chest mobilization exercises, Group 2 performing IMT and breathing exercises. Both the groups were assessed with 6MWT to ensure further exercise capacity. They were pre and post evaluated for it. Further, groups were divided to evaluate pulmonary function and compare the results .Results- The comparison shows that there were statistically significance comparison between pre test and post test of SBP, DBP, SPO2, HR, 6MWD, PEFR, FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC with P<0.05 except no comparison in FEF 25-75% with P>0.05 in chest mobilization exercise group. Post test has greater score than pre test for all pulmonary variables in this group. It shows that there were statistically significance comparison between pre test and post test of SBP, DBP, SPO2, HR, PEFR, FEV1/FVC and FEF 25-75% with P<0.05 except no comparison in FEV1 & FVC with P>0.05 in IMT with breathing exercises group. Post test has greater score than pre test for all pulmonary variables in this group.Conclusion- Chest mobilization exercises and ; IMT and breathing exercises were seen to be effective. Pre and post pulmonary function were seen to be improved in both cases
