evaluate the efficacy of Chest Physical Therapy (CPT) performed during the pre-transplant period on spirometric values as well as Respiratory Muscle Strength (RMS) in patients waiting for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
patients scheduled for HSCT at the bone marrow transplant will randomly be assigned into two groups; one will receive Chest Physical Therapy in addition to routine medical treatment and the control group will receive routine medical treatment only. Outcomes will be a pulmonary function that will be measured by spirometry and respiratory muscle strength measure by Respiratory Pressure Meter. Measurements will be before three weeks before then at the end of treatment immediately before Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and the last assessment at three weeks after hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for all measured variables.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| group A:Chest Physical Therapy | Experimental | Patients in group A will receive CPT program daily for three weeks before HSCT (hospital stay for allogeneic-HCT). The program consists of postural drainage, diaphragmatic breathing exercises, coughing, huffing, percussion, shaking, and exercise training using an incentive spirometer in addition to routine medical treatment. The total duration of each CPT session ranged from 45-60 minutes according to patient tolerance. The choice of airway clearance method that will be applied depends on two factors; patient preference and the individual response of the patient to treatment. |

| Control group (B):Routine medical treatment | Active Comparator | patients in group B will receive routine medical treatment |

| Spirometry measures1 | The forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), FEV1 is the volume of air exhaled in the first second of the FVC maneuver | Change from Baseline (three weeks before HSCT) , the end of treatment immediately before HSCT(T1) to three weeks after HSCT(T2) for all measured variables. |
| Spirometry measures2 | the forced vital capacity (FVC)To measure FVC, the patient inhales maximally, then exhales as rapidly and as completely as possible. | Change from Baseline (three weeks before HSCT) , the end of treatment immediately before HSCT(T1) to three weeks after HSCT(T2) for all measured variables. |
| Spirometry measures3 | the relation between FEV1 and FVC | Change from Baseline (three weeks before HSCT) , the end of treatment immediately before HSCT(T1) to three weeks after HSCT(T2) for all measured variables. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Respiratory muscle strength (RMS) | Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP or PImax) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP or PEmax) will be measured to assess respiratory muscle strength (RMS) using MicroMedical MicroRPM 01 (Respiratory Pressure Meter) according to ATS/ERS guidelines | A baseline assessment will be done three weeks before HSCT (T0) then at the end of treatment immediately before HSCT(T1) and the last assessment at three weeks after HSCT(T2) for all measured varibles. |
