Table 3. Comparison of pulmonary function and kyphosis angle in pre-test and post-test of muscle energy technique group (N=10)
| Pre test | Post test | t value | p value |
| Pulmonary function (%) | FVC (L) | 4.49±0.62 | 4.70±0.68 | −4.67 | 0.01* |
| FEV1 (L/sec) | 4.24±0.53 | 4.47±0.55 | −6.44 | 0.01* |
| PEF (L/sec) | 4.81±1.25 | 4.94±1.30 | −0.81 | 0.44 |
| Kyphosis (deg) | 43.90±1.32 | 34.4±1.19 | 10.89 | 0.01* |
Data are expressed as mean±SD. FVC, forced vital capacity; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1sec; PEF, peak expiratory flow;
p<0.05.
