Terapi Peregangan Otot Pernafasan untuk Kapasitas Vital Paru Pasien Asma

Abstract

Asthma caused dyspnea because bronchospasme. Expiration rate and
inspiration volume decrease, it will reduce pulmonary vital capacity.
Asthma patient need exercise to improve pulmonary vital capacity. The
respiratory muscle stretching will strengthen and endurance
respiratory muscles. The objective of the study was to know the effect
of respiratory muscle stretching toward pulmonary vital capacity of
asthma patient. These study used quantitative study with quasy
experiment by using randomized pretest posttest design. Intervention
group used respiratory muscle stretching and control group used deep
breathing exercise. The sample was 15 respondents for intervention
group and 15 respondents for control group. The instruments were
spirometry and observation sheet. Data analysis used T paired test and
Mann Whitney test by hypothesis test with ? 0.05. The mean difference
between two groups used Mann Whitney test, where p value was 0.001.
Respiratory muscle stretching more efective to increase pulmonary
vital capacity.
