RE: Steemit Learning Challenge-S21W4: Physical Therapy Intervention: Asthma

in Steem Physio & Rehab8 months ago

Thank you for understanding the lesson and sharing your assignment; I hope that you will enjoy this week's lesson and try to implement it in your life if you see any such case.

Observations

Task 1 (2/3)
You have shared a good knowledge about asthma, and it's trigger. But you didn't add it's symptoms, causes and types. Asthma is a curable condition that can be cured either with medications or physical therapy. I appreciate your effort.

Task 2 (2.5/3)
In the second question, you tell us about how you have to assess a patient by doing physical examination and history taking, and performing investigations. Lung function test and spirometer, sputum analysis are different tests we also perform to assess the patient. A bit more depth require to complete the answer. Good.

Task 3 (2.6/4)
You try the pursed lip, diaphragmatic breathing and chest muscle (pectoralis major) stretch. You did the chest stretch correctly. But in diaphragmatic breathing, you don't need to keep your hand on your neck it should be on your chest and abdomen. In pursed lip you have to exhale like you're blowing a candle. Always remember to take steam or nebulization before performing exercises to relax your muscles & dislodge sputum that can excrete out easily. I appreciate your efforts.

Overall you made a great attempt to answer all the questions. I appreciate your efforts. But next time try to avoid the above written suggestions. Keep learning and try to implement your knowledge to the people suffering from asthma, as winter is the trigger of most people suffering from asthma. Thank you.
