About

The objective of this study will be to determine the combine effect of scapulothoracic mobilization with Buteyko breathing on pulmonary parameters functional capacity and balance among COPD patient.

Full description

The study will be Randomized Clinical Trial which include forty (40) subjects clinically diagnosed according to Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) standard of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients will be allocated into two groups i.e. Group A (20) and Group B (20). Group A scapulothoracic mobilization with Buteyko breathing (BBT) and Group B received Buteyko breathing (BBT). The Pulse oximeter will be used to evaluate Pulmonary parameters. The 6-meter walk test will be used to assess functional capacity. The Activities-specific balance confidence scale (ABC scale) will be used to assess Balance Confidence and Single leg stance (SLS) will be used to evaluate balance. The evaluation will be done on day one as pretreatment values and post-treatment values at the end of third week.

Enrollment: 40 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 40 to 65 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
