Brief Summary

To determine the effects of 30 min brisk walk on Pulmonary Functions on COPD patients To determine the effects of 30 min brisk walk on Health related Health-related quality of life (HRLQ) on Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients

Conditions

COPD

Keywords

Aerobic Exercise; Brisk Walk; Health-related quality of life

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• 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.

  4th Week

• Peak VO2max with formula

  Changes from the baseline, Maximal oxygen uptake or capacity is the maximum rate of oxygen consumed and measured during the stress activity. Its measurement within the laboratory demonstrates a numerical value for endurance fitness full stop and this value can be used to compare individuals training with or without diseases. This tool reflects cardiopulmonary endurance in the performance of any exercise. maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) is calculated by: Mean Peak VO2 (ml/kg/Mean) = 4.948 + 0.023 \*Mean 6MWD (meters) 6 minute walk distance (6MWD)

  4th Week

• Health-related quality of life scale (HRLQ)

  Changes from the baseline, It is usually administer the Health-Related Quality of Life scale verbally, reading the questions aloud and writing down respondents' answers. The scale consists of three modules. The Core Healthy Days module contains one item that asks respondents to rate their general health on a 5-point scale (1 = excellent; 3 = good; 5 = poor). The module also has three items that ask respondents how many days their physical health was not good, their mental health was not good, and their health interfered with their daily activities. It compute an unhealthy days score by adding the number of physically unhealthy and mentally unhealthy days. The maximum score is 30 unhealthy days, even if the number of unhealthy days totals more than 30.

  4th week

• 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

  4th week

• Forced vital Capacity (FVC)

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

  4th 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.

  4th week

Secondary Outcomes (1)

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

  4th week

Brisk Walking Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Brisk walking as training for 4 weeks

Other: Brisk Walking Group

Conventional Breathing Exercise Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Conventional Breathing exercise for 4 weeks

Other: Conventional Breathing Exercise Group

Interventions

Brisk Walking Group OTHER

Brisk Walk: 20 min/day (The researchers found, for most people, brisk walking could be defined as moving at a pace of 2.7 miles per hour or 100 steps per minute for adults under about age 60 or guidelines define brisk walking as occurring when individuals move at a pace that increases their heart rate to about 70% of their heart rate maximum) Patient will also perform breathing exercises as given to Control group, Positioning (lean forward when needed) Percussion coughing when needed

Brisk Walking Group

Conventional Breathing Exercise Group OTHER

Breathing exercises: 20 min/day Breathing Ex includes: • Pursed lip breathing: Sit with your back straight, inhale through your nose for 2 seconds. Purse your lips like you rae blowing on hot food and then breath out slowly, take twice as long to exhale as you took to breath in 4-5 times a day • Diaphragmatic breathing: Lie on your back on a flat surface, knees bent and head supported. Use pillow under knees to support your legs . breathe in slowly through your nose tighten your stomach, letting them fall inward as you exhale through your pursed lips. Practice these exercises 5-10 minutes about 3-4 times a day. Positioning (lean forward when needed) Percussion coughing when needed

Conventional Breathing Exercise Group
