Brief Summary  

This study investigates the effect of diaphragmatic stretching on cardiopulmonary parameters in patients with post tuberculosis lung sequelae. The primary aim is to evaluate whether diaphragmatic stretching can improve respiratory functions such as PEFR chest expansion and other cardiopulmonary measures in these patients potentially aiding in respiratory rehabilitation and management of post TB lung damage.
