    Immediate Effect Of Slow Deep Breathing Exercise And Sustained Maximal Inspiration With Volume-Oriented Incentive Spirometry On Lung Function In Post Covid-19 Elderly Population
    (Indian Society for Health and Advanced Research, 2024-08) Jayadeep, Ardra; D, Praveena
    Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has threatened global public health, especially older adults who are vulnerable to severe respiratory complications. Survivors, particularly the elderly, often suffer long-term respiratory issues that affect their quality of life. Aim: To compare the immediate effect of slow deep breathing exercise and sustained maximal inspiration with volume-oriented incentive spirometry and slow deep breathing exercises with volume-oriented incentive spirometry on lung function in post COVID-19 elderly population.. Methodology: The study included 50 subjects who receives Slow deep breathing exercise and sustained maximal inspiration with volume-oriented incentive spirometry Group-A(n=25) and Slow deep breathing exercise with volume-oriented incentive spirometry Group-B(n=25). Baseline measures of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1 ) were taken before and after exercises. Inter-group analysis was done to analyze signi?cance within groups. Independent 搕� test was used to determine signi?cance between groups. Result and discussion: The results showed statistically signi?cant difference with increase in FVC and FEV1 in Group-A subjects who receives Slow deep breathing exercise and sustained maximal inspiration with volume-oriented incentive spirometry. Conclusion: Slow deep breathing exercise and sustained maximal inspiration with volume-oriented incentive spirometry has an immediate effect on lung functions in post COVID-19 elderly population.
