- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method cranio-vertebral angle and kyphotic angle in degrees pre-intervention kinovea software will be used to assess in degrees
chest expansion pre-intervention and after 8 weeks of intervention caliper will be used to assess chest expansion into centimeter
(the forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume at first second (FEV1) and FEV1/FVC will be recorded. ) pre-intervention spirometry used to measure
functional capacity. pre-intervention Six minute walk test will be used to assess functional capacity(meter/minutes)
dyspnea score pre-intervention Modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC dyspnea scale) will be used to assess dyspnea
