Summary

The original intent was to use a manual therapy and therapeutic exercise intervention with older patients with pneumonia post-hospitalization. It was hypothesized that the physical therapy intervention would have a positive impact on posture, physical function, pulmonary function, gait, quality of life, and ultimately readmission. This patient population was found to be not feasible to recruit and the study target population was expanded to include older community dwelling adults with pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or hyperkyphosis.
