Clinical Trial Summary

The randomized controlled trial will involve 30 participants, with Group A receiving GPRM and ACBT, while Group B follows the conventional COPD model that includes ACBT only.Assessments of heart rate, physical fitness, and quality of life will contribute to a nuanced understanding of joint function, informing future COPD treatment paradigms.


Clinical Trial Description

The focus of this study will be on addressing the critical challenge of treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a globally prevalent and heterogeneous lung condition associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. With COPD anticipated to become the leading global cause of death, this research will investigate a novel intervention that combines global postural retraining (GPRM) and physical fitness, utilizing respiratory cycle technology (ACBT). This study assumes to enhance heart rate, posture, and overall quality of life in individuals with COPD. The randomized controlled trial will involve 30 participants, with Group A receiving GPRM and ACBT, while Group B follows the conventional COPD model that includes ACBT only. The study, utilizing nonprobability purposive sampling, will span six months to comprehensively evaluate cardiovascular, respiratory, and quality-of-life outcomes. Exclusion criteria ensure a representative sample, excluding individuals with severe diseases or recent surgeries. The significance of this investigation lies in its potential to revolutionize COPD treatment, offering a cost-effective approach that simultaneously enhances patient health. By targeting both biomechanical and respiratory aspects, the study aims to provide valuable insights into improving COPD treatment strategies globally, with a focus on the combined effects of global postural retraining and active breathing techniques. Assessments of heart rate, physical fitness, and quality of life will contribute to a nuanced understanding of joint function, informing future COPD treatment paradigms. ;
