Protocol summary

Study aim
The main aim of this study is to see the comparison between stretching of respiratory accessory muscles and ribs mobilisation to improve chest expansion, level of dyspnea and vital capacity in COPD patients
Design
Two parallel groups: group A have stretching of respiratory accessory muscles and group B have ribs mobilization. Sample size is 50 which is collected from single center (Rabia Trust Hospital Faisalabad). Randomization will be through lottery method, single blinded study will be conducted in which only patient would be blinded.
Settings and conduct
This study is conducted in Rabia Trust Hospital Faisalabad. Randomization is done by lottery method. Sealed envelope method is use for blinding of participant.. grouping of 2 envelopes showed to patient, once he selected one of them, he will be the part of that Two groups are made. Sealed envelope will made upon with allocation of participants in both groups can be possible without biasness
