Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
cranio-vertebral angle and kyphotic angle in degrees
Time Frame: pre-intervention
kinovea software will be used to assess in degrees
chest expansion
Time Frame: 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. )
Time Frame: pre-intervention
spirometry used to measure
functional capacity.
Time Frame: pre-intervention
Six minute walk test will be used to assess functional capacity(meter/minutes)
dyspnea score
Time Frame: pre-intervention
Modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC dyspnea scale) will be used to assess dyspnea
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
