Brief summary

Our study aiming for determining the combined effect of selective manual therapy techniques in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients

Detailed description

I will apply selective manual therapy techniques in form of mobilization techniques ,myofascial release techniques combined with traditional treatment to determine thier effect in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients

Interventions

OTHERManual therapy and conventional physical therapy treatment

manual therapy (chest mobilization, diaphragmatic myofascial release, myofascial release for pectoralis minor, pectoralis major, scaleni ),pursed lip breathing, diaphragmatic breathing and active range of motion exercises of upper limbs

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
chest expansion	pre-intervention and after 8 weeks of intervention	caliper will be used to assess chest expansion into centimeter
(the forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume at first second (FEV1) and FEV1/FVC will be recorded. )	pre-intervention	spirometry used to measure
cranio-vertebral angle and kyphotic angle in degrees	pre-intervention	kinovea software will be used to assess in degrees
functional capacity.	pre-intervention	Six minute walk test will be used to assess functional capacity(meter/minutes)
dyspnea score	pre-intervention	Modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC dyspnea scale) will be used to assess dyspnea
