Özet

Objective: It was aimed to compare the effects of manual therapy (MT) and Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) on respiratory functions and postural problems of young adults in this study.Material-Method: Thirty-five volunteers were randomly allocated into IMT and MT groups. All participants received twenty minutes of IMT twice a week for four weeks. Eight sessions of manual therapy were applied to the MT group in addition to IMT. Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC ratio, Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), forward head posture (FHP), and thoracic hyperkyphosis were evaluated before and after the treatments.Results: Although there were significant improvements in the FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC ratio, and PEF scores of the MT group (p0.05). The comparisons of post-treatment scores of the FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC ratio, and PEF between the groups revealed greater improvements in the MT group than IMT group (p
