Brief Summary

This was a Randomized control Trial. Purposive sampling was done to obtained Sample (n=78) which were randomly allocated to Group A (n=39) and Group B (n=39). Study was conducted from August 2019 to December 2019 in HBS Hospital Islamabad.To determine the effects of Qigong vs. Shot form Sun Style Tai Chi (SSTC) on Lung function, six min walk distance, dyspnea and quality of life in COPD patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1)

  Changes from the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second FEV1 in Liters

  6th week

• Forced vital Capacity (FVC)

  Changes From the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze Forced vital Capacity in Liters.

  6th week

• Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)

  Changes from the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze peak expiratory flow PEF in Liter/second.

  6th week

• 6 min walk test: Distance (meters)

  Changes from the baseline, 6 min walk test was used to measure Functional capacity. It is a sub maximal exercise test which can aid in assessing functional capacity of patients with cardiopulmonary diseases, in this test we find out the maximum distance in meters which an individual covers in 6 min without any support.

  6th week

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC)

  6 week

• Quality of life: St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)
