근위축성 측색 경화증 (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: ALS) 환자에게 있어 호흡기능장애는 죽음에 이르게 하는 주요 원인 중 하나이다. 본 연구는 근위축성 측색 경화증이 있으며 호흡기능이 약화되어 있는 51세의 여성 환자를 대상으로 호흡운동 치료를 시행한 후 폐기능(pulmonary function)이 증진되었는지를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 연구 대상자는 6주간의 호흡운동 치료 프로그램에 참여하였다. 호흡운동 치료 프로그램은 횡경막 호흡(diaphragmatic breathing), 복부근육강화(abdominal mu scles strengthening), 지갑입술 호흡(pursed lip breathing), 그리고 동기 유발성 흡기폐활량계(incentive spirometer)를 이용한 흡기운동 등으로 구성되었다. 폐기능 검사는 이동식 호흡측정기(spirometer: MICROSPIROHI-198)를 이용해서 시행하였다. 또한 하지 에르고미터(cycle- ergometer)를 이용해 운동 시간을 측정함으로써 폐기능의 증진 여부를 알아보았다. 연구 대상자는 6주간의 호흡운동 치료 기간 동안 노력성 폐활량(forced vital capacity: FVC)과 정상 예측치에 대한 노력성 폐활량의 비율(percentage of the predicted forced vital capacity: %FVC), 그리고 하지 에르고미터의 운동 시간에 있어 현저한 증가를 보였다. 그러나 노력성 폐활량에 대한 1초간 노력성 폐활량 비(FEV1/ FVC)에 있어서는 약간의 감소를 보였다. 근위축성 측색 경화증 환자에게 6주간의 호흡운동 치료를 실시한 결과, 폐기능의 증진에 효과적임을 알 수 있었으며, 앞으로 더 많은 연구 대상자에게 그 효과를 알아보는 연구가 필요할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether PNF respiratory exercise increases the vital capacity and maximal voluntary volume of 20s normal adults by 45° leaning sitting position. Twenty normal adults in their 20s were randomly assigned to an experimental group and control group. Over the course of four weeks, the experimental group participated in PNF respiration exercises by 45° leaning position for 30 minutes three per week. And the control group participated in diaphragm respiration exercises by 45° leaning position for 30 minutes three times per week. Subjects were assessed post-test by measurement of vital capacity, maximal voluntary volume. Our findings show that the experimental group had significant improvements in vital capacity, maximal voluntary volume(p<.05). In this study, the experimental group showed more improvement in pulmonary function, which indicates that the PNF respiratory exercise by 45° leaning sitting position is effective at increasing the pulmonary function of normal adults.

This study examined the effect of the respiratory training centered at forced breathing exercise of blowing out a candle on the improvement of adults' respiratory ability, which means the increased muscle strength of body trunk. After the four-week candle-blowing breathing training, the forced vital capacity (FVC) increased statistically significantly (p<.05). The forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) did not show a statistically significant difference before and after the four-week intervention(p>.05). The peak expiratory flow rate (PEF) statistically significantly increased after the four-week blowing-out-the-candle training (p<.05). This study examined the relationship between forced breathing training and pulmonary function of healthy adults including FVC, FEV1, and PEF, which means the increased muscle strength of body trunk, by implementing blowing-out-the-candle breathing exercise centered at forced respiratory exercise and obtained significant results. Further studies that use a sample of patients with advanced respiratory system disease for whom physical therapy is absolutely necessary will be required in the future.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether PNF respiratory convergence exercise increases the pulmonary function of normal adults by $45^{\circ}$ leaning sitting position. Twenty normal adults in their 20s were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n=10) or control group (n=10). Over the course of four weeks, the experimental group participated in PNF respiration exercises by $45^{\circ}$ leaning position for 30 minutes three per week. And the control group participated in PNF respiration exercises by supine position for 30 minutes three times per week. Subjects were assessed pre-test and post-test by measurement of pulmonary function. Our findings show that the experimental group had significant improvements in expiratoy reserve volume and vital capacity, maximal voluntary volume. In this study, the experimental group showed greater improvement in pulmonary function than the control group, which indicates that the PNF respiratory exercise by $45^{\circ}$ leaning sitting position is effective at increasing the pulmonary function of normal adults.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of balloon blowing exercise on multiple pulmonary function and maximum voluntary ventilation in patients with mild intellectual disabilities in their 20s. 10 people in the experimental group and 10 people in the control group participated in the experiment. The experimental group performed the balloon blowing exercise for 30 minutes a day, and the control group performed the diaphragm breathing exercise for 30 minutes each. The subjects measured voluntary capacity and maximal voluntary ventilation using Fitmate before and after the experiment. Subjects were assessed with Vital capacity(VC) and Maximal voluntary ventilation(MVV) before and after the test and the results were compared with the paired t test. Data analysis was performed with SPSS win 18.0. After the experiment, the experimental group showed higher lung capacity and maximum ventilation than the control group. Through this study, the experimental group increased voluntary capacity and maximum voluntary ventilation more than the control group. It is thought that the quality of life can be improved if we continuously manage the health of intellectuals by developing various breathing exercise programs.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a thoracic mobilization exercise using the Kaltenborn on the convergence lung function. The study was conducted on 20 university students in their 20s over a four-week period. The 20 subjects were randomly selective assigned to a Kaltenborn thoracic mobilization exercise group and diaphragm exercise control group. The experimental group performed a Kaltenborn thoracic mobilization exercise for 30 minutes. The control group performed a diaphragmatic breathing exercise for 30 minutes. Each exercise program was performed three times a week for four weeks. When comparing the breathing capacity of the experimental and controls before and after the experiment, the experimental group showed significant changes in TV, IRV. In testing the differences between the experimental and controls in their changes after the experiment, TV, IRV showed a significant change. Based on the results of this study, a thoracic mobilization exercise using the Kaltenborn thoracic mobilization exercise may have positively affected the extrementals lung function. Therefore, if a thoracic mobilization exercise using the Kaltenborn is combined with a respiratory exercise program in the future, it will likely become a more effective treatment technique.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of whole body vibration stimulation training combined with respiratory resistance on respiratory and balance function in stroke patients. 17 patients with chronic stroke were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 8) and the general vibration exercise program (n = 9). The intervention was conducted three times a week for 30 minutes once a week for 4 weeks. The respiratory function and balance ability were evaluated before and after the intervention to evaluate the degree of functional improvement. As a result, there was a significant difference (p<.05) between the respiratory function and the balance ability in the experimental group, and a significant difference(p<.05) in the respiratory function between the experimental group and the control group. The balance ability was not significantly different among the experimental groups. Through the results of this study, whole body vibration stimulation training combined with respiratory resistance may be useful as a program for improving respiratory function and balance ability of stroke patients.

Lumbar stabilization exercise is a popular exercise method in recent clinicians, as it strengthens muscles around the spine and abdominal muscles, but there is a lack of research on the effects of pulmonary function and respiratory pressure. So, this study examined whether abdominal bracing exercise, a typical lumbar stabilization exercise, was effective in pulmonary function and respiratory pressure. In this study, a total of 20's 40 subjects were recruited and randomly divided into an abdominal bracing exercise group(n=20) and control group(n=20). Abdominal exercise group underwent 25 minutes of exercise. Pulmonary function and respiratory pressure values were measured to analyze respiratory function. As a results of the experimental group, there were significant improvements in FVC, FEV1, PEF and MEP(p<.05) and there was a significant difference in the comparison between groups, except the MIP. These results suggest that abdominal bracing exercise can be presented as effective exercises to improve respiratory function.
