“…For assessing COPD symptoms, GOLD 2011 primarily recommended the use of the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) or the mMRC dyspnoea score. CAT is a patient-completed questionnaire used to assess and quantify the health-related quality of life and symptom burden in patients with COPD [ 17 , 18 , 20 ]. It comprises 8 questions, each of which is presented using a semantic 6-point (0–5) differential scale, respectively [ 21 ].…”

BACKGROUND: While respiratory and core-postural stabilisation has recently gained a widespread acceptance to improve pulmonary function and dyspena, the therapeutic effects of and rationale underlying the use of respiratory and core-postural stabilisation in the management of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have not been investigated. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the effects of abdominal breathing and respiratory and core-postural stabilisation on diaphragmatic movement and pulmonary function. METHODS: Fourteen patients with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were randomly assigned to either the respiratory and core-postural stabilisation or abdominal breathing group. All patients underwent fluoroscopy-guided chest X-ray imaging and pulmonary function tests before and after the interventions; the modified Medical Research Council questionnaire was also administered before and after the interventions. Six sessions of either intervention were consistently provided. The obtained data were assessed using independent t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank test with a significance threshold of P< 0.05. RESULTS: Respiratory and core-postural stabilisation was more effective in increasing diaphragmatic movements than abdominal breathing (P< 0.05). Pulmonary function tests revealed more significant differences in the forced vital capacity (FVC(%)predicted) only after respiratory and core-postural stabilisation (P= 0.004). The Medical Research Council questionnaire score was significantly different within the Respiratory and core-postural stabilisation group (P= 0.014). CONCLUSIONS: Our novel results suggest that the effects of respiratory and core-postural stabilisation breathing on diaphragmatic movement and pulmonary function were superior to those of abdominal breathing in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Background Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) mainly involves back pain radiating to the lower limb after back-related surgeries. It can develop various complications around the operation site and its surrounding area. This study evaluates the effect of lumbar spinal stabilization exercises and neural tissue mobilization on pain and spinal dysfunction in FBSS. Objectives To study the impact of lumbar spinal stabilization exercises and neural tissue mobilization on pain and spinal dysfunction in FBSS. To compare the impact of lumbar spinal stabilization exercises and neural tissue mobilization with conventional therapy on pain and spinal dysfunction in FBSS. Methods The study included 76 participants aged 45-60 with back pain radiating to lower limbs after back-related surgeries within the past six months. Participants were randomly assigned to either a conventional treatment group (Group A) or an experimental exercise program group (Group B). The treatment duration was six weeks and data were analyzed by a paired t-test for within-group analysis and an unpaired t-test for between-group analysis. Results Both groups A and B showed significant differences in all three outcome measures. However, Group B showed extremely significant improvement (<0.0001) in outcome measures, including pain, lumbar muscle strength by manual muscle testing, and modified Oswestry index assessment compared to Group A. Conclusion Both conventional and experimental groups showed a significant impact on the pain and level of function in failed back surgery syndrome patients. However, lumbar stabilization exercises along with neural tissue mobilization (Group B) showed a more pronounced impact on all outcomes such as pain reduction and improvement in lumbar flexor, rotator, and extensor muscle strength and modified Oswestry index compared to the conventional treatment group (Group A).
