Abstract:
Background and purpose of the study was to compare Pursed-lip breathing and Mouth taping for relieving dyspnoea and analyse their effectiveness.
Method: Subjects of age group 18-34 years and normal BMI were randomly divided into two groups, group A (n= 40) for PLB technique and group B (n= 40) for MT technique. Each subject’s Heart rate, Respiratory rate, Blood pressure, Treadmill walking time and level of dyspnoea according to Modified Borg CR10 scale was assessed before and after the intervention.
Results: Both the techniques showed significant improvement by virtue of an increased treadmill walking time, the subject’s dyspnoea status during the treadmill walking and lesser time for recovery to baseline vital parameters. Significant reduction in post-test RR after PLB (p=0.030) and MT (p=0.012) respectively were seen. Although, when compared to each other, MT and PLB techniques showed no significant differences with respect to the dyspnoea relieving time(p=0.08)and treadmill walking time(p=0.2).
Conclusion: MT and PLB both have proved themselves to be equally effective in improving the response to exercise in terms of increased treadmill walking time and post-test dyspnoea status and recovery of vital parameters, without any significant differences between the two techniques.
Keywords: Treadmill walking time, Dyspnoea relief
