The Immediate Effect of Chest Mobilization Technique on Chest Expansion in Patients of COPD with Restrictive Impairment
Abstract: BACKGROUND Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a primary lung disease but as it advances, there is restriction in chest wall mobility which decreases pulmonary functions and vital capacity of lung. So purpose of this study is to assess the immediate effect of Chest Mobilization (CM) on improving the Chest Expansion (CE). OBJECTIVE OF STUDY To improve Chest Expansion in patients of COPD with restrictive impairment by chest mobilization technique. METHOD An Experimental study was conducted on 30 COPD patients having vital capacity
