Conditions

patients with non cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis who have daily sputum production Bronchiectasis, sputum

Interventions

The patients will be asked to breath out through from highest load to lowest load of Acapella (AC) with descending order. The load that has the steady expiratory flow which get the proper oscillation
starting with 3 low lung volume huffs and 3 breathing control, it will be progress
Acapella and forced expiratory technique ,BreatheMAX and forced expiratory technique ,forced expiratory technique
