Results: There was significant statistical increase in post treatment mean values in FEV1 (30.85%) and FVC of predicted (26.08%) and FEV1 / FVC (3.92%) and MVV (30%) and ACT (26.09%) between 2 groups. Frolov device is effective in improving the ventilatory parameters and ACT of predicted in bronchial asthma patients |
