Summary

COPD is the chronic lung condition characterized by the damage and enlargement of the air sacs in the lungs, leading to breathing difficulties. A blockage may develop, which traps air inside your lungs. The patient shows clinical manifestation of cough, wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath. This research of randomized clinical trial will check the combined effects of pursed lip breathing and coordinated breathing techniques to improve aerobic capacity and dyspnea in patients with COPD by taking sample of 54 patients through convenience sampling and randomly allocating them to two groups A and B out of which A will receive pursed lip breathing with aerobic exercise for 4 times per week for 4 week and duration will be 45-60 min, B will receive coordinated breathing with aerobic exercise for 4 times per week for 4 weeks. And duration will be 45-60 min.Pre and post training outcomes of aerobic capacity and dyspnea will be measured through Six minute walk test and dyspnea Borg scale, and Saint George respiratory questionnaire. The data will be analyzed through SPSS 21.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

pursed lip breathing techniques

Relax your neck and shoulder muscles. For the use of PLB exercise, the intervention will be given every day till the patient discharged from hospital. Patient will perform 5 sets. In each set, 10 times will be included. Then, instruct the patient to take deep breath through nose for two counts, and keep mouth closed. Inhale for 2 seconds. Now, ask the patient to purse the lips as if the patient was going to gently flicker the flame of candle. Now the patient will breathe out gently while counting for 4 seconds.

OTHER

coordinated breathing technique

Put one hand on your abdomen. Make your abdomen push out while you breathe in through your nose. Suck in your abdominal muscles. Breathe out using the pursed-lip technique. You should feel your abdomen go down. Repeat three times and rest for two minutes.
