Incorrect posture
It is typical for an asthmatic child to hold his or her upper torso hunched. The lower abdomen is protruding, the back is hunched, and the shoulders are lifted and pushed forward. This posture limits the functioning of the lungs. In addition, the surrounding ribs will develop abnormally and chest may develop deformities.
Chest Deformities:
Barrel chest: Lower ribcage angles outward.
Funnel chest: Sunken breastbone.
Pigeon chest: Protruding breastbone.
Minimal ability for resistance
The foundation of everything we do lies in the proper and balanced functioning of our lungs. If lung function is hindered, then the child is more affected by airborne viruses and bacteria.
