Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
As a response to the application of manual osteopathic techniques in Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with a stable clinical condition, it is expected to have a positive impact on respiratory function, improving spirometric parameters - forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in the first second; and respiratory mechanics - diaphragmatic and rib cage mobility, both assessed by cirtometry. As a consequence, it is expected a reduction in dyspnea, evaluated through the modified Borg Scale and validated for use in Brazil and other clinical repercussions common to this type of patient, such as the ability and tolerance to physical exercise, evaluated through the test six-minute walk test (6MWT) according to the American Thoracic Society guidelines, as well as the improvement in the quality of life of these individuals, which will be evaluated through the application of the CAT -The COPD assessment test.	—
