Summary

Chest mobility exercise versus proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is designed to compare the therapeutic effect of chest mobility exercises and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching on improving chest expansion and functional capacity in patients with chronicobstructivepulmonarydisease?

Conditions

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Moderate

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Chest mobility exercises	exercises were repeated 6 times on each side with rest of period for 30 seconds in between. The intervention will be carried out for one week with total of 7 sessions. Each Exercise will be accompanied by breathing pattern. In neutral position of exercises, subjects will be asked to exhale during flexion, turning or extension subject will be asked to do inhale.
OTHER	proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation	The technique used in this study Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique of hold and relax stretching for isolated clavicular head of the pectoralis major muscle. The subjects sitting on a chair with back support to keep spine in a neutral position and both their arms are extended and hands are placed behind the occipital region. His both arms will be positioned in glenohumeral horizontal extension, and glenohumeral abduction and external rotation with elbow bent to perform stretch position of pectoral muscle. Then ask him to contract the pectoral muscles .This isometric contraction is held for 6 seconds. The patient then relaxed and passive stretch in the opposite direction . and it was repeated 6 times with rest period 30 seconds. The session will be given every day for one week
