Among 60 Respiratory efficacy among Post operative children, the pretest mean score of respiratory efficacy among post operative children was 9.90±2.59 and post test mean score of respiratory efficacy was 4.13±2.56. The mean difference score was 5.77. The calculated paired ‘t’ test value of t = 30.370 was found to be statistically significant at p<0.001 level which clearly infers that the administration breathing exercises with Hoberman Sphere among post operative children was found to be effective in improving the level of respiratory efficacy in the post test.
