Multi-respiratory muscle training
EXPERIMENTALPatients will perform multi-repiratory muscle training programe for 12 weeks
Diaphragmatic breathing
NO INTERVENTIONPatients will be taught diaphragmatic breathing technique routinely. To practice at home lasting 12 weeks
Interventions
Patients will be taught the diaphragmatic breathing technique at the same time also will be instructed a four-item (including upper-arm weighted exercise, body side-bends, modified sit-ups, body crunching) multi-respiratory muscle training motions. To practice three times/day, three days a week lasting 12 weeks at home.
