Chronic Obstructive pulmonary Disease is a particular type of irreversible disease that may damage or obstruct airways and make it difficult to breath. This respiratory condition may lead to shallow breathing.
Breathing exercises help to manage hyperventilation often seen in copd patients. To handle respiratory complications patients are advised to practice brathing techniques along with pharmacological management.
Total 46 participants are allocated divided into two group. Group A will perform Pilates breathing along with pharmacological management and group B will perform Pursed-lip breathing along with pharmacological management.
Hence objective of study is to compare the effects of pilates breathing techniques along with pharmacological management versus pursed-lip breathing along with pharmacological management on chest expansion, peak expiratory flow rate, dyspnea and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease
