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

Detailed description

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.
