Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will investigate the effects of on technique of chest physiotherapy on pulmonary function. Effects of pulmonary function will be measured by the spirometry, body plethysmography and by the multiple breath nitrogen washout technique.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a before-after intervention study.

Spirometry, body plethysmography and then multiple breath nitrogen washout will be measured before the application of chest physiotherapy.

The chest physiotherapy technique used will be autogenic drainage during 30 minutes. A resting period of 5 minutes will be given to the participant before the following tests.

Spirometry, body plethysmography and then multiple breath nitrogen washout will be measured again, in the same order, after the application of chest physiotherapy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Autogenic drainage

The autogenic drainage will be the chest physiotherapy technique used for this study.

Autogenic drainage is an airway clearance technique that attempts to obtain the optimal airflow to evacuate the secretions. This technique uses modulation of inspiratory and expiratory airflow at different breathing level within the vital capacity.
