Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Control Group  pulmonary rehabilitation with a 5 days/week program with 2 supervised sessions for 12 weeks with a total of 20- 30 minutes each session, including aerobic and/ or resistance type of training at 60-70% of their Heart Rate Reserve (HRR). The number of repetitions will be increased to provide a gradual progression and increase the intensity of training 
Intervention  Experimental Group  A 5 days/week program with 2 supervised sessions for 12 weeks and each session for 20-30 minutes. It includes Pranayam intervention with one set of Anulom Vilom, Bhramari, Kapalbhatti, and Omkar performed in the same order and pulmonary rehabilitation includes aerobic and/ or resistance type of training at 60-70% of their Heart Rate Reserve (HRR). The number of repetitions will be increased to provide a gradual progression and increase the intensity of training

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  


The objective of the study is to evaluate the influence of Pranayama breathing techniques on thoracic cage biomechanics, respiratory muscle activity, and lung function in patients with chronic respiratory disease. It is a randomized controlled trial where two groups of patients with chronic respiratory disease will be undergoing rehabilitation for a period of 12 weeks. The control group will be receiving conventional pulmonary rehabilitation and the experimental group will receive additional Pranayam breathing techniques. The patients will be assessed for thoracic kinematic using reflective markers and the motion of the chest will be evaluated by the Vicon 3D motion capture system, respiratory muscle activity will be assessed by surface EMG, and pulmonary lung functions will measure the forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume, at 1-second maximum inspiratory pressure, maximum expiratory and cardiovascular endurance will be recorded by six-minute walk test. The patient will be assessed at the beginning and end of the 12-week intervention. Knowledge gained from the study will help the prescription of evidence-based pulmonary rehabilitation including Pranayama to improve chest mobility, respiratory muscle activity, and lung function.
