Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a common, preventable as well treatable disorder, which is also one of the main reasons of high mortality and morbidity characterized by irreversible airflow limitation and has respiratory system involved. The aim of this study is to evaluate the comparative effects of manual diaphragmatic technique and lateral coastal breathing on COPD patients, that these exercises will have beneficial effects or not on COPD patients. Manual diaphragmatic technique and lateral coastal breathing will increase the functional capacity and relieve the symptoms dyspnea, enhance the chest wall expansion.
This study will be a randomized clinical trial to determine the effects of both techniques on COPD patients and disease severity in patients who falls into the inclusion criteria, who are willing to participate, patients with age limit between 45 to 65 years, GOLD stage II, and patients will be excluded who have cardiac disease, abdominal or thoracic surgeries and in critical condition by taking sample of patients through non probability convenient sampling and randomly allocating them to two groups A and B out of which A will receive manual diaphragmatic techniques, B will receive lateral coastal breathing exercise up to the duration of 2 times a day, 3 days per week for up to 3 weeks. Pre and post exercise outcomes will be assessed. The data will be analyzed through SPSS 26

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manual Diaphragmatic Technique | Other | The intervention will be given 3 days per week for up to 6 weeks starting assessment with modified Borg scale questionnaire will be asked from the patient to evaluate the patient's dyspnea level. The patient at first will be asked to do 5-6 diaphragmatic breathing in upright position and then will be asked to breathe with the breather device after complete inhalation the patient will blow hard in the device. The patient will be asked to inhale and then hold for 2-3 second and breathe out through the device with the 3 sets with each set including 8 repetitions same cycle with relaxed diaphragmatic breathing between each set |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Measuring Tape | Measuring tape is used for chest wall measurement during inhalation and exhalation to compare differences | 6th week |
| 6 Mile Walk Test | 6 mile walk test is used to perform to check functional capacity of the patient, it helps in assessment of the physical functional performance at baseline and post intervention, 6MWT will be performed inside the corridor on flat surface, the patients will be guided to walk on their own pace. | 6 weeks |
| Modified Borg Scale | Modified borg scale questionnaire will be asked from the patient to evaluate the patient's dyspnea level. Peak flow meter It is a handheld device that measures patient ability to push air out of your lungs, it is very useful in screening patients who have respiratory disorders and depicts the reliable respiratory state of the patient | 6 Weeks |
