Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Buteyko breathing technique  Buteyko breathing technique will be practiced for 15 minutes for five days a week for 4 weeks. Preparation 1. Should be sit down or in a chair. 2.Join the spine to stay upright. 3.Relax the respiratory muscles. 4.Breathe normally for a few minutes. The Control Pause 1. After taking a deep breath, should be hold the breath. 2. After that should be used the index finger and thumb to connect the nose. 3. Hold the breath until feeling the urge to breathe, which may involve the non-engaging movement of the diaphragm, and then exhale. 4. Should be breathing normally for at least 10 seconds. 5. Should be repeat several times. Maximum pause 1. After taking a deep breath, should be hold the breath. 2. After that should be Use of index finger and thumb to connect the nose. 3. Keep the air as long as possible, usually twice the length of the Control Period. 4. Until reached the level of moderate discomfort, should be pull. 5. Should be breathing normally for at least 10 seconds. 6. Should be repeat several times. During the breathing sessions participants’ oxygen saturation will be continuously monitored for patient safety.  
Comparator Agent  Inspiratory muscle training  For the purpose of training Philips Threshold® IMT Inspiratory Muscle Trainer will used. 1.The mouth piece of the threshold trainer was put inside the participant’s mouth and nose clip was attached to prevent any breathing through the nose. 2.The participants were instructed to breathe in a force to overcome the resistance of a spring-loaded valve and enable airflow. The resistance was increased to the next level as the participants completed 50 breathes without any difficulty for consecutive 3 days. Participants repeated this manoeuvre for 15 minutes with 2–3 minutes rest periods in between. Intervention will be given for 5 days a week for 4 weeks.

Brief Summary  

To assess and compare the effect of Buteyko breathing technique and Inspiratory muscle training on lung function in individuals diagnosed with muscular dystrophy.

Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness, including respiratory muscles, which often leads to compromised lung function. This comparison can help identify which approach, if any, is more beneficial for individuals with muscular dystrophy, guiding healthcare professionals in selecting appropriate interventions. Enhancing respiratory function in this population is of paramount importance for improving overall quality of life.
