effects of right sidelying respiratory left adductor pull back exercise on improving hip biomechanics in participants with a tendency to stand on right side

Objectives: a helpful functional exercise that tends to correct postural unevenness and attempts to re-establish lumbopelvic mechanics is beneficial for patients with postural impairment. this study evaluates the effects of right sidelying respiratory left adductor pull back exercise on improving hip biomechanics in participants with a tendency to stand on the right side.methods: a total of 30 subjects (6 females and 24 males) with a mean±sd age of 28.53±2.62 years, mean±sd weight of 63.83±3.89 kg, and mean±sd height of 165.8±3.97 cm were screened based on eligible criteria. subjects had been randomly allocated into identical groups (group i: n=15, group ii: n=15). pre- and post-intervention, active and passive measurements of right and left hip internal rotation, external rotation, abduction, as well as active right and left hip shift were recorded. the intervention was provided to both groups twice a day for 3 weeks. group i (experimental group) received stretching, strengthening, postural re-education, and right sidelying respiratory left adductor pull back exercise, whereas group ii (control group) received only stretching, strengthening, and posture re-education.results: statistically significant differences were reported in both groups in the active and passive right and left hip lateral and medial rotation, and abduction range of motion (p<0.05), with right and left hip shift (p<0.05) following the intervention. however, the experimental group showed better improvement compared to the control group. discussion: the results suggest that right sidelying respiratory left adductor pull back exercise is effective in improving hip biomechanics in participants with a tendency to stand on the right side.
