Primary outcomes

  1. pulmonary function

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    The pulmonary functions Spirometer measure can be expressed as Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) and Force Vital Capacity (FVC) .

  2. Trunk Control

    Time frame: 4weeks

    Trunk performance and coordination by static and dynamic sitting balance was measured by TIS.TIS comprises 17 items, measures dynamic and static sitting balance and trunk co-ordination. The TIS total score is 0-23 points, higher scores show better performance.

    It takes about 6 to 16 minutes in applying TIS

  3. Functional Capacity

    Time frame: 4weeks

    6 MWT is used for functional capacity of participants, by walking for 6 minutes.

    Participant walk between the point marked, as numerous periods as can in 6 minutes.

    The 6-minute walk (6mw) test is a reliable and valid measure of for assessing functional capacity.
