U.S., April 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07508267) titled 'Thoracic Spine Rotation Stretching and Scapular Retraction in Asthma Patients' on March 27.
Brief Summary: Patients with asthma frequently experience upper back stiffness and rounded shoulders and tightness in the thoracic region. Rib cage stiffness occurs due to poor posture and muscle tightness, which leads to decreased chest expansion and increased use of accessory muscles during breathing. Additionally, rounded shoulders can hinder proper opening of the chest, preventing the lungs from expanding properly. Thoracic spine rotation stretching targets the thoracic paraspinal muscles, erector spinae, and intercostal muscles. This exe...
