Brief summary
It will be a randomized control trial at Services Hospital Lahore through convenience sampling technique which will be allocated through simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped in to Group A and Group B . Group A: patients will be treated with basic breathing technique whereas Group B: will be treated by will be breathing technique along with diaphragm and abdominal training. The study will be completed within 6 months after synopsis approval from ethical Committee of RCRS & AHS . Data will be entered and analyzed by SPSS version 25. After assessing the normality of data , it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be use within a group or between two groups.
Detailed description
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a set of diseases that cause airflow obstruction, breathing difficulties, wheezing and chest tightness. Risk factors are smoking and non-tobacco-smoking, the use of biomass fuel and open fires for domestic purposes in poorly ventilated households. Physiotherapy is an important component of multidisciplinary therapies. Airway clearing, pulmonary rehabilitation, inspiratory muscle training, and non-invasive ventilation is the prior treatment .The aim of this study will be to find the effects of diaphragm and abdominal muscle training on pulmonary function testing and dyspnea among COPD patients . It will be a randomized control trial at Services Hospital Lahore through convenience sampling technique which will be allocated through simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped in to Group A and Group B .

Interventions
OTHER• Diaphragmatic breathing technique
In supine position, the participant inhales through the mouth for 5 s to expand the abdomen to the maximal level, minimizing movement of the thorax, and performs a long exhalation to maintain a lower abdominal contraction and retroversion of the pelvis
OTHERbasic breathing technique
Deep Breathing for 15 minutes
