Effect of balloon blowing exercise vs modified cervical exercise along with Swiss ball exercise on the lung capacity of patient suffering from text neck syndrome due to improper posture

Abstract

Background: Text neck syndrome is more likely to produce neck discomfort and soreness. The aim of this study is to see how Balloon Blowing Exercise compares to Modified Cervical Exercise and Swiss Ball Exercise in terms of lung capacity in patients with Text Neck Syndrome caused by poor posture. Methodology: A total of 30 students (N=30) were chosen and divided into two groups of 15 each (N1=15) (N2=15). They were randomly separated into two groups (Group 1 and Group 2). Group 1 consisted of fifteen (N=15) individuals who were given a balloon blowing activity. The modified cervical exercise along with Swiss ball exercise were was used on Fifteen people in Group 2 (N=15). Four weeks of intervention were given to the participants. Prior to the intervention, demographic data was obtained, students were requested to complete the NDI questionnaire, and a rural test measurement was performed. Before and after the intervention period, a spirometry test was performed to determine FEV and FVC. Result: The results showed improvement in FEV and FVC of balloon Blowing exercise group and modified cervical exercise along with Swiss ball exercise.
