Brief Summary: A COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), is a group of progressive lung diseases. COPD is a preventable and treatable respiratory disorder largely caused by smoking and long term exposure to chemical irritants. This study aims to provide essential insights into the reliability, validity, responsiveness and Interpretability of such tests, enabling healthcare professionals to make informed decisions about patient recovery progress and the optimization of rehabilitation protocols.

Detailed Description: A COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), is a group of progressive lung diseases, a preventable and treatable respiratory disorder largely caused by smoking and long term exposure to chemical irritants. COPD affects the respiratory system and is progressive, which can result in a number of difficulties or impairments. ) Effect on Daily Activities, Work Limitations, Fatigue Muscle Weakness, Breathlessness and Reduced Exercise Capacity, and Impaired Quality of Life. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a comprehensive course that helps people with chronic respiratory illnesses, such as COPD, improve their overall health and quality of life. Clinimetric properties of four distinct tools designed for assessing performance-based physical functional outcomes following COPD patients surgery. 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT), 2 minute Walk test (2MWT), and Timed Up and GO (TUG), 30sec sit to stand test (30sec STS) will be assessed to determine any changes in their functionality test.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Functionality Assessment	Assigned Interventions	Each participant will be provided with an informed consent form detailing the purpose of the study. After obtaining written consent, baseline data will be collected, including demographic information, medical history, and any pre-existing conditions.The participants will then undergo the post-laparotomy interventions as described. Throughout the intervention period, data will be collected using the tools mentioned: 6 minute Walk Test, 30 seconds sit to stand test, 2 Minute walk Test, and Timed Up and GO to determine any changes in their functionality test .For reliability, test retest will be conducted both on day 1 and on the next day.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
2MWT (Two-Minute Walk Test)	6 week	The 2MWT is a functional exercise test designed to evaluate an individual's aerobic capacity and endurance over a shorter duration compared to the 6MWT.
Timed Up and GO (TUG)	6 week	It is designed to assess an individual's mobility and requires the participant to stand up from a seated position, walk a distance of three meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down.
30 seconds sit to stand test (30SSTS):	6 week	Used to assess lower extremity strength, balance, and functional capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It involves measuring the number of times a patient can rise from a seated position to a full standing position and then return to sitting within a 30-second period. The test is typically conducted in a chair with a standardized height and armrest comapred TUG test
6MWT (Six-Minute Walk Test)	6 week	A six-minute walk test to assess your fitness or functional condition. Using a pulse oximeter, the researchers will take your blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation before you start walking. The following instructions will be given to participants. The competitors will walk as close to a chair or cone as they can for six minutes at their regular pace. After that, they will turn around and continue walking back and forth for an additional six minutes. It was shown that this test had good test-retest reliability.
