The effect of the diaphragm stretching technique in the diaphragm contraction rate and trunk muscle activity in back pain patients

CONCLUSION: The diaphragm stretching technique improved the diaphragm contraction rate and trunk muscle activity was lower due to the improved trunk stabilization function of the diaphragm. Therefore, the diaphragm stretching technique can be recommended as a physical therapy intervention to improve pain in patients with low back pain.PMID:37718777 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-230141
