Brief Summary:
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of core stabilization exercises combined with the patient education program AEP and breathing exercises in patients with asthma
Design A randomized controlled study Setting Chest diseases clinic of a university hospital Subjects The study sample consists of 26-68 years old asthma patients who were diagnosed at least 6 month prior to the study
Interventions All subjects were included in the asthma education program AEP and both groups were trained for diaphragmatic and pursed lip breathing exercises 2timeswk 6-week duration at clinic The core stabilization program was applied twice a week for a duration of 6 weeks in TG
Main Measures Spirometry maximum inspiratory pressure MIP and maximum expiratory pressure MEP International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form IPAQ Hospital Anxiety and Depression ScaleHADS Asthma Quality of Life QuestionnaireAQOL Six-minute walking test6MWT Prokin PK200 Italy were used to evaluate feasibility of interventions

Detailed Description:
All volunteers received an asthma education program AEP and trained for diaphragmatic and pursed lip breathing exercises Additionally the TG participated in the core stabilization exercises program combined with AEP and breathing exercises Data were collected from all the patients at baseline and post interventions 6 week by the same physiotherapist who also supervised the exercise sessions
All subjects were included in the asthma education program AEP AEP was performed at least once for approximately 20 minutes via face to face interviews Education topics covered description of asthma physiological changes of lungs risk factors treatment methods relaxation positions to reduce dyspnea and usage of a specific inhaler Breathing exercises were comprised of instructing breathing control diaphragmatic breathing and pursed lip breathing exercises Participants attended breathing exercises training for 2 days at the clinic under the supervision of a physiotherapist and 3 days at home as a home-exercise program Total duration of breathing exercises lasted for 6 weeks TG performed core stabilization exercises combined with breathing control for 2 daysa week for the duration of 6 weeks under the supervision of a physiotherapist at the clinic Basic knowledges on spine muscles of core stabilization and working principle of diaphragm and biofeedback unit SPB Chattanooga Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback USA were explained before the training The SPB consists of an inflation pump and a cell like sphygmomanometer which reflects body spinal movement in terms of mmHg by changing pressure in air filled cells The SPB was placed under the lumbar 5th vertebra and patients attempted to maintain their core stability performing neutral zones at the settled level of 40 mmHg pressure Furthermore physiotherapist tried to improve thoracolumbar awareness by following changes from SPB and volunteers assured a constant lumbar position during upper and lower extremity movements combined with diaphragmatic movements The 6 week exercise protocol emphasized core muscle co-contraction in hook-lying position with a flat cushion between two knees to provide integration between the pelvic floor muscles and diaphragm Subsequently exercises progressed as diaphragmatic breathing flexion of both shoulder with breathing control and extending knees bilaterally with breathing control Moreover the hold time and the number of repetitions were increased from 5 repeats x 1 set to 5 repeats x 4 sets and each session lasted 20 minutes
