About this study

I will apply selective manual therapy techniques in form of mobilization techniques ,myofascial release techniques combined with traditional treatment to determine thier effect in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • All patients must diagnosed mild to moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • All patients should have foreward head and kyphosis

Exclusion criteria

  • History of osteoporosis.
  • Acute exacerbation.
  • Presence of active hemoptysis
  • Presence of malignant disease

Treatment and study plan

Manual therapy and conventional physical therapy treatment

Other

manual therapy (chest mobilization, diaphragmatic myofascial release, myofascial release for pectoralis minor, pectoralis major, scaleni ),pursed lip breathing, diaphragmatic breathing and active range of motion exercises of upper limbs

Primary outcomes

  1. chest expansion

    Time frame: pre-intervention and after 8 weeks of intervention

    caliper will be used to assess chest expansion into centimeter

  2. (the forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume at first second (FEV1) and FEV1/FVC will be recorded. )

    Time frame: pre-intervention

    spirometry used to measure

  3. cranio-vertebral angle and kyphotic angle in degrees

    Time frame: pre-intervention

    kinovea software will be used to assess in degrees

  4. functional capacity.

    Time frame: pre-intervention

    Six minute walk test will be used to assess functional capacity(meter/minutes)

  5. dyspnea score

    Time frame: pre-intervention

    Modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC dyspnea scale) will be used to assess dyspnea
