Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine the difference between The Breather respiratory muscle trainer and pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with COPD post COVID-19.

Detailed description

The main concern in post COVID-19 patients is the involvement of respiratory system and cardiovascular system which may result in dyspnea, low blood oxygen saturation, and decrease cardiopulmonary efficiency. In cases of post COVID-19 patients with COPD their state is deconditioned and more critical than normal to be either in the zone of progression or regression or stability as the studies showed that handling of these cases during (3-6 months post-COVID) will prevent these symptoms from becoming permanent.

Conditions

• COVID-19
• COPD

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	The breather respiratory muscle trainer	The breather respiratory muscle training device is a high quality and effective trainer designed to specifically train the inspiratory and expiratory muscles in one same breathing action. The device allows for adjustable levels of resistance using easy-to-read dials, which allows you to adjust the device to the settings you require. The inhale settings allow for adjustment 1-6 with 1 being the easiest and 6 being the hardest, while the exhale settings allow for adjustment 1-5, where 1 in the easiest and 5 the hardest.
OTHER	Diaphragmatic and localized breathing exercises	A. Diaphragmatic breathing exercises: Exercise will be performed as prescribed in the clinical guidelines for 5-10 minutes about 3-4 times per day. B. Localized Breathing: Exercise will be performed as prescribed in the clinical guidelines for 5-10 minutes about 3-4 times per day. C. Mild Interval training exercise
OTHER	interval aerobic training and respiratory training	mild intensity interval aerobic training and respiratory training on treadmill
