Effect of Senobi Versus Buteyko Technique on Functional Performance of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patient.

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that cause obstructed airflow from the lungs. Symptoms include Breathing difficulty. cough, mucus production and wheezing. Its typically caused by long term exposure to irritating gasses or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoker.

Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are two most common condition that contribute to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is progressive disease that gets over a time. Clinical trials will be Conducted in Gulab Devi chest hospital in Lahore. Through the convenient sampling Technique. Which will be allocated through the random sampling two groups are involved group A and group B. In group A check the effect of Senobi techniques (stretch the body) and in group B check the effect of Buteyko technique. (Inhale the through the nose while mouth is closed) by using 6 mint walk test, Borg scale and quality of life questionnaire. Apply the technique to check the effectiveness of dyspnea and quality of life of patient The Buteyko technique offers a complementary method of reliving respiratory symptoms based on the voluntary control of breathing as well as considering the effect of environmental and dietary trigger. Data will be collected by the questionnaire and analyzed by using statistical package for the social science SPSS software version 21. The Buteyko method made its way to Australia to Europe and the unite states in 1990, it become best for the asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patient. The Senobi stretch exercise of the respiratory muscle improve the chest expansion and also improve the chest wall mobility in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patient. Senobi breathing exercise was found to be effective for depression and it regulate the sympathetic nerve activity.
