Brief Summary: The potential effects of combining manual soft tissue release and physical exercise training on lung function exercise capacity and cardiac autonomic function in patients with moderate and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were investigated
Detailed Description: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD commonly presents with accessory respiratory muscle tightness and weakness affecting chest wall compliance and lung elasticity However traditional physical therapy interventions including pursed-lip breathing sputum clearance techniques and respiratory muscle training are often used in treatment guidelines with few studies focusing on muscle release for the accessory respiratory muscles Although the effects of manual therapy on lung function and chest tightness in COPD have been demonstrated the effects of soft tissue release combined with exercise intervention on COPD including lung function exercise capacity and cardiac autonomic function remain unknown Therefore this study proposes a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of manual soft tissue release combined with exercise training on lung function exercise capacity and cardiac autonomic function in patients with COPD It is expected that the results of this study will demonstrate that combining manual soft tissue release with exercise training may increase gas exchange in the lungs reduce respiratory effort improve co-morbidities delay disease progression and enhance patient quality of life and clinical intervention
