Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study is to aalyze and to compare the pulmonary function of non-smokers, forward head posture,
smokers, forward head posture and smokers by spirometer.
Method : Forty healthy male and female adults were
recruited, and agreed to participate as subjects in the study after a prior investigation. In order to examine the
pulmonary function, measured the Forced Vital Capacity, the Forced Expiratory Volume in one second, the Forced
Expiratory Volume in one second / Forced Vital Capacity percent, the Peak Expiratory Flow, the maximal voluntary
ventilation, all measurements were used in owo-way ANOVA to analyze difference variables.
Results : The result
of study, the Forced Expiratory Volume in one second, the Forced Expiratory Volume in one second / Forced Vital
Capacity percent, the maximal voluntary ventilation showed Statistically significant differences value. Also, as a
result of the post test, between the nonsmokers group and the group of smokers in the Forward head posture
showed significant differences value into the Forced Expiratory Volume in one second, the Forced Expiratory
Volume in one second / Forced Vital Capacity percent. Thus, smoking and Forward head posture had effected
pulmonary function,
Conclusion : It is suggested that the cause of obstructive pulmonary disease can be caused
by Foward head posture and smoking and it will be an important basic data to prevent lung disease.
