Thirty six women presented with moderately persistent bronchial asthma were selected from chest department, Elsahel teaching hospital and Egypt air hospital with age ranged from 35 - 50 years old. Patients were assigned to two groups equal in number Group A: Received Frolov device, in addition to medical treatment and once daily for three times / week for 8 weeks. Group B: Received medical treatment and pursed lip breathing exercises for 8 weeks. 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 UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
