Severe Cognitive Impairment: Exclusion of participants with severe cognitive impairment that may hinder their ability to comprehend and follow study instructions. 3. Unstable Medical Condition: Exclusion of individuals with unstable medical conditions, including uncontrolled hypertension or cardiac issues. 4. Pregnancy: Exclusion of pregnant individuals due to potential contraindications or safety concerns related to diaphragm manual therapy. 5. Previous Diaphragm Manual Therapy Within Study Period: Exclusion of participants who have undergone diaphragm manual therapy within a specified period before the study to avoid potential carryover effects. 6.
