Abstract
Background. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is complicated by the presence of frequent and recurrent acute exacerbations. The patients are asymptomatic and stable in the early stages. They develop weakness of primary respiratory muscles and use accessory muscles which lead to postural changes. The forward head posture in the neck is very common in COPD patients due to increased usage of accessory muscles and aging changes. The objective of this study is to determine the immediate effect of Kinesio-taping on lung function and respiratory muscle strength in stable COPD patients and age matched healthy individuals.
Methods. 20 stable COPD patients and 20 age matched asymptomatic participants were assessed for the pulmonary function test by Spiro lab machine and respiratory muscle strength using Micro RPM machine before applying the KT. The outcomes were repeated 30 minutes after applying the KT for correcting the forward head posture. The with-in group and between group comparison of the variables before and after the application of KT was done using student t-test.
Results. A significant correlation was found in the baseline parameters of age (p = 0.011); PEF (p = 0.004) and physical activity levels
(p = 0.039). The application of Kinesio tape proved to be beneficial by improving the lung and respiratory parameters of FVC (p = 0.002) and MEP (p = 0.22) among the COPD group.
Conclusions. Our study concluded that, application of kinesio-tape can be an adjunct to conventional breathing exercises for COPD patients. There is improved lung function and reduced rate of perceived exertion after application of kinesio-tape.

Abstract
Purpose. To investigate the effect of ultrabreathe training on pulmonary functions in patients with chronic bronchitis.
Methods. Randomized controlled trial. Sixty men patients, aged from 50-60 years old, having moderate chronic bronchitis based on GOLD standard 2020, were randomized into 2 equal groups. Group (A) received ultrabreathe training plus traditional chest physiotherapy for 4 weeks, while group (B) received only the same traditional chest physiotherapy for 4 weeks. All subjects in both groups were evaluated before and after training for ventilatory functions (forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and the ratio between forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC), dyspnea scale and shuttle test.
Results. Comparing both groups post training revealed that there were statistically significant increases in FEV1, FVC and shuttle test (p < 0.05) in favour of group (A), while there were statistically non-significant differences regarding FEV1/FVC and dyspnea scale (p > 0.05).
Conclusion. The conjugation of ultrabreathe with traditional chest physical therapy program improved the ventilatory functions, dyspnea and functional capacity in chronic bronchitis patients.

Streszczenie

Objectives. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients suffers from respiratory muscle dysfunction. The current study aimed to assess the effect of combined respiratory muscle training (both inspiratory and expiratory) on pulmonary function and health status of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. Methods. Sixty men (40-60 years old) with (COPD) were enrolled. They were assigned randomly with 30 patients allocated to the control group and 30 patients allocated to the experimental group. The control group received a guideline protocol chest physiotherapy, whereas the experimental group received the same program in addition to respiratory muscle training using power lung device. Both groups received the treatment sessions three times per week for 3 successive months. Measurement of ventilatory function, respiratory muscle strength and the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) was done before and after the intervention. Results. Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in ventilatory function and respiratory muscle Strength after treatment, with significantly greater improvements seen in the experimental group. No significant difference was detected between groups regarding (CAT). Conclusions. Training both inspiratory and expiratory muscles improves pulmonary function and health status in in patients with COPD.
