To compare the efficacy of acapella and expiration against open glottis (ELTGOL) technique in promoting airway clearance of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients
This study is carried out to determine the effectiveness of acapella and expiration in lateral position with open glottis to clear the secretion in COPD patients. The sessions will be carried twice daily for twenty minutes. The outcome measures are values of pre and post intervention fev1/fvc and breathlessness cough sputum scale. Duration of the study will be for five days.
