简要总结
Finding the effect of diaphragm release exercises on stepping reaction time and balance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.
详细描述
Sixty patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) will be randomly assigned to the experimental (EX) group and the control group (CON). The participants' age will be 55 years and above with history of COPD. The Ex group will attend 4 sessions/week of Manual Diaphragm Release Technique Combined with Deep Breathing (10:15-min) for 8 weeks, the CON will attend 4 sessions/week of Deep Breathing (10:15-min) for 8 weeks. The stepping reaction time will be assessed by the choice stepping reaction time (CSRT). The Balance will be determined using a Time up and Go test (TUG) an d Berg balance scale (BBS). All the outcomes will be examined at baseline, and 8 weeks of the intervention.

结局指标
主要结局
stepping reaction time
时间窗: up to 8 weeks
stepping reaction time will be assessed by choice stepping reaction time test. The test procedure is as follows: when the stepping target is illuminated in a random order, the subject steps onto the illuminated target as quickly as possible.4 The faster the reaction, the shorter the reaction time.
Balance
时间窗: up to 8 weeks
Balance Balance will be assessed by berg balance scale, the balance score ranges from 0 to 56, with lower scores indicating increased risk of balance loss and higher scores indicating improved functional mobility. Time up and go test (TUG)n Score \< 10 seconds = normal \< 20 seconds = good mobility; can walk outside alone; does not require a walking aid \< 30 seconds = walking and balance problems; cannot walk outside alone; requires walking aid.
