Brief Summary:
This study intends to examine the effectiveness of adding RMS to a traditional program of pulmonary rehabilitation regarding chest expansion dyspnea and cough symptoms in bronchiectasis post-tuberculosis patients Bronchiectasis resulting from tuberculosis treatment is characterized by restricted chest wall motility chronic dyspnea and an irritating cough factors that severely impair these patients quality of life It is assumed that RMS improves the compliance of the chest wall thereby enhancing respiratory mechanics and consequently reducing symptoms The outcomes will be compared between two groups one group with standard pulmonary rehabilitation and another group with additional RMS exercises
Detailed Description:
Bronchiectasis involves the irreversible dilation and damage of the bronchi forming an important long-term sequela in patients who have completed treatment for lung tuberculosis This condition leads to restricted chest expansion severe shortness of breath and chronic cough causing considerable distress to the affected patients quality of life Pulmonary rehabilitation through aerobic exercise and breathing techniques such as Pursed Lip Breathing PLB and the Active Cycle of Breathing Technique ACBT has shown benefits in managing these symptoms The potential additional benefit of exercises involving accessory respiratory muscles to improve chest wall mobility using Respiratory Muscle Stretching RMS exercises has not been well-explored This single-blind randomized controlled trial will compare the effects of standard pulmonary rehabilitation alone versus standard rehabilitation combined with RMS exercises in patients with bronchiectasis post-tuberculosis Outcomes will focus on changes in chest expansion dyspnea cough symptoms and lung function parameters such as FEV1 FVC and FEV1FVC ratio The study will involve 48 participants who meet the inclusion criteria and will run for four weeks
