Physical Medicine & Rehab Anxiety Breathing Technique Depression Physical Therapy Quality of Life Stress Introduction According to “World Health Organization” (WHO) the COVID–19 outbreak is a global pandemic [1] which has been started at the end of November in china then gradually spread all over the world. It is one of the lives threating disease affecting the respiratory system [1]. Common symptoms of this disease are dry cough, high fever and difficulty in breathing [2, 3]. As the medication and vaccine has not been discovered for this disease it is raising concern of the common population about the spread of infection from confirmed COVID–19 positive cases. WHO suggested that social isolation helps to limit the growing number of cases of COVID–19, this has also led to significant fear and anxiety related to spread of infection in the general public. Excessive fear and apprehension of spread of infection can lead to acute stress, anxiety, low quality of life [4]. Though, many organizations are already doing to increase awareness about the societal impact of the on-going pandemic [5]. During this pandemic crisis the possible potential risk factors such as prolonged periods of social isolation, fear of unemployment, economic loss and significant others are increasing due to lockdown [5, 6, 7]. The relationship between physical activity (PA) and various dimensions of mental health, has received increased attention in recent years [8] and poor mental health is of concern in itself because it may exert a negative effect on individual’s quality of life [9].Evidences suggest that there is a direct relationship between mental health and sleep quality which is a crucial public health issue in the 21st century [10, 11]. Emotional liberation breathing technique (ELB) is a novel therapy which includes both somatic and cognitive elements. In ELB technique is very helpful in increasing the oxygen level in the body which [12]. On the other hand many studies proved that exercise is a gold standard method to manage the subjects with mental health problem. It has been demonstrated that exercise reduces the harmful effects of other stressors when performed at moderate intensities. The pathophysiology of exercise is like neurotransmitter release, neurotropic factor and neurogenesis, and cerebral blood flow alterations are some of the concepts involved [13]. The main purposes of this series was to, the mainly evaluate the effectiveness of multidisciplinary physiotherapy approach on depression, anxiety and quality of life during lockdown periods for the COVID–19 pandemic attack. Case Description Patient information The patient was a 56 years old female house wife. She was relatively well before 25 th march 2020 then she developed loss of sleep with body heat during day time. She is a known case of hypertension and hyperthyroidism, renal cysts and knee osteoarthritis (Bilateral). There was no history of diabetics. She takes medication for hypertension, thyroid disease and occasionally sedative drugs for sleep. Her past history was when she came back from abroad from her daughter from six month back. After coming from abroad she was developed mild sleep problem after consultation with neurologist the problem was subsided. The problem started again after first week of April month the she consulted with neurologist but this time problem was not subsided even the medication was changed by the neurologist three times in a weeks. Problem was worsening day by day. Then she was assessed by physical therapist and followed the multidimensional physical therapy protocol. The patient was endomorphic on observation. There were no signs of pitting oedema but pain threshold was very less in sub-occipital, and trapezius muscles. She was able to communicate and depicted normal cognitive functioning. She had mild weakness in the lower limb muscles on manual muscle testing and sensory profile was normal. Outcome measures Depression, anxiety, and stress DASS-21 (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale) was used to assess depression, anxiety and stress. . The participant was approached to utilize a four-point severity/frequency scale to level the degree. Health Related Quality of Life Quality of Life is generally assessed using the SF-36 (MOS 36-item short form health survey) form. Developed by Ware et al., the Turkish validity and reliability adaptation of the form was prepared by Kocyigit et al. The 36 items present on this form reflect eight health-related aspects. Intervention Emotional liberation breathing Emotional Liberation Breathing Technique (ELB) is based on this concept, and an ELB session was divided into 3 big phases to ensure the desired outcome which is a breathing pattern that will be the opposite of all negative breathing patterns “healing breath” it’s like a “general antidote”. It is a one hour procedure. The patient was in standing position and the therapist stand just behind the patient. The procedure was started with mouth to mouth breathing means patient was taken deep breathing and exhale through moth until the five sign of ELB were achieved. Then the subject was in rest for 30 minutes. The procedure was performed twice in a week. Myofascial release Technique The patient was asked to lie supine on a couch. The Therapist seated at the head of the table with arms resting on table. First of all neck relaxation was provided by passive movement of the cervical spine. Then therapist places both hands under the neck in such a way that positioned at the base of the skull. The fingertips act as fulcrum for the patient’s occiput. The back of skull rested comfortably in the therapist’s palm. The patient allows the full weight of head to rest in the palm of therapist’s hands. This position is held while physiotherapist waits for the soft tissues to release. The technique was performed twice in a week of alternative day of ELB session. Exercise Program The exercise protocol was carried out under experienced physical therapist. Each exercise session consists of 10-minute warm-up exercises, 40-minute stabilization exercises for cervical spine and scapula, and 10-minute cool-down and stretching exercises, including neck and shoulder girdle muscles. The whole program was carried out 3 days per week for 4 weeks. Then the participants used the latex green color band. Scapulo-thoracic stabilization exercise consists of thoracic bracing, postural alignment and multifidus activation. Dosage and duration for this exercises was 10 repetitions with 8-10 second hold. When the subjects were able to do 15 reputations without any fatigue then they were progress to next color of Thera-Band [16]. Discussion In this case study we found that there was significant improvements in all domain of QoL and DASS score. Where improvement shown depression, anxiety and stress respectively 5 points, 8 points, 14 points. In term of depression of In term of health related quality of life- Where improvement shown in physical functioning 45 points, role of limitations due to physical health 75 points, role of limitations due to emotional health 100 points, energy 30 points, emotional well-being 28 points, bodily pain 45 points, general health 30 points. The domain of social life was excluded from the questionnaire due to social distancing. Recent evidence supports that ELB is an effective technique to manage physical and mental health. It also claimed that suggests that ELB simultaneously improves a broad range of health markers across multiple physiological systems [14].Another study supports that continuous breathing for about an hour more is going to increase oxygen levels in the blood as breathing increase the level of oxygen inhaled. Oxygen is a natural pain reliever while sometimes increase oxygen contribution to release of tension by reducing the sensitivity of amygdala and cortisol level and increasing serotonin and melatonin level. This process also decreases the dopamine dependency and different types of addictions [15]. Therefore the result of previous study supports the results of the case study. Further extensive research is required to investigate the therapeutic effects of ELB. Conclusion Results of this study have shown that Emotional liberation breathing technique along with Emotional liberation breathing technique and multimodal physical therapy approaches had a positive effect on depression, anxiety, stress and health related quality of life. Therefore, it can be used in clinical practice to manage the patient with depression, anxiety, stress and low quality of life.
