Effects Of of Pursed Lip Breathing and Coordinated Breathing in Adult Patients With COPD

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.
