Brief Summary

Our study aiming for determining the combined effect of selective manual therapy techniques in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients

Conditions

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• chest expansion

  caliper will be used to assess chest expansion into centimeter

  pre-intervention and after 8 weeks of intervention

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

  spirometry used to measure

  pre-intervention

• cranio-vertebral angle and kyphotic angle in degrees

  kinovea software will be used to assess in degrees

  pre-intervention

• functional capacity.

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

  pre-intervention

• dyspnea score

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

  pre-intervention
