THRESHOLD TRAINING VERSUS BIOFEEDBACK TRAINING ON MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE

This experimental study aims to evaluate the effects of threshold training, biofeedback training and conventional training on improving the  morphological changes in subjects with stable moderate COPD aged 45-65 years. The study will be conducted at the out patient department of Faculty of physiotherapy, department of pulmonology, ACS medical college and hospital, which involves 126 both male and female subjects divided into three groups with 42 participants in each group, undergoing 45 minute sessions four times weeekly over a period of 12 weeks. The primary aim is to investigate the effectiveness of these interventions in improving the morphological changes and pulmonary functions among the copd subjects. The primary objective being a comparitive analysis of  threshold training versus biofeedback training on morphological changes in copd. Secondary objectives includes assesing the individual effects of each intervention like threshold trainin, biofeedback training and conventional training on these parameters. Outcome measures encompass lung functions, inspiratory muscle strength, morphological changes in lungs and quality of life. The results will be revealed after the intervention period and its intended to identify the most effective physiotherapy approach for improving the lung condition and functional capacity in subjects with copd.
