Diaphragmatic excursion is associated with respiratory function; however, limited studies have assessed the effect of thoracic mobilisation on diaphragmatic excursion. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the effects of thoracic mobilisation on diaphragmatic excursion and respiratory function in individuals with thoracic hyperkyphosis. METHODS: Participants were recruited through Internet advertising and participated voluntarily. Nineteen healthy participants (age: 33.37 ± 6.56 years; height: 170.32 ± 7.92 cm; weight: 69.77 ± 14.70 kg) with thoracic hyperkyphosis underwent thoracic mobilisation for 8 weeks. Diaphragmatic excursion, thoracic kyphosis, and respiratory function were measured. Thoracic mobilisation was provided using a mechanical massage device. RESULTS: Thoracic mobilisation for 8 weeks significantly improved diaphragmatic excursion during deep breathing (p= 0.015), forced vital capacity (p< 0.01), and thoracic hyperkyphosis (p< 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Thoracic mobilisation can be recommended in respiratory rehabilitation programs to increase diaphragmatic excursion and respiratory function for the management and prevention of respiratory dysfunction in individuals with thoracic hyperkyphosis.</jats:p>"}]}],"creator":[{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380861291393039104","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Sung-Hoon Jung"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380861291393039108","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Ui-Jae Hwang"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380861291393039105","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Sun-Hee Ahn"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380861291393039106","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Jun-Hee Kim"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380861291393039107","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Oh-Yun Kwon"}]}],"publication":{"publicationIdentifier":[{"@type":"EISSN","@value":"18786324"},{"@type":"PISSN","@value":"10538127"}],"prism:publicationName":[{"@value":"Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation"}],"dc:publisher":[{"@value":"SAGE Publications"}],"prism:publicationDate":"2022-05-11","prism:volume":"35","prism:number":"3","prism:startingPage":"517","prism:endingPage":"523"},"reviewed":"false","dc:rights":["https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/"],"url":[{"@id":"https://content.iospress.com/download?id=10.3233/BMR-210143"}],"createdAt":"2021-10-15","modifiedAt":"2025-03-11","relatedProduct":[{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1390860078756277120","@type":"Article","relationType":["isReferencedBy"],"jpcoar:relatedTitle":[{"@language":"en","@value":"Characteristics of Sagittal Spinal Alignment of Male University Students in the Upright Standing Position: Focus on Thoracic Hyperkyphosis"},{"@language":"ja","@value":"男子大学生の直立位における脊柱アライメントの特徴"}]}],"dataSourceIdentifier":[{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.3233/bmr-210143"},{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.1589/rika.38.273_references_DOI_JFrq075aSp2S1mhnuEet5p0Nl4J"}]}
