Detailed Description

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

Children who were hospitalized with a clinically and radiologically confirmed diagnosis of pneumonia will participate in this study. Selected Patients will be randomly assigned into two groups of equal number.

One group will only receive conventional chest physical therapy program in form of (postural drainage, chest percussion, vibration and suction if needed). The other group will receive conventional chest physical therapy program along with respiratory neurophysiological facilitation techniques in form of (anterior basal lift, intercostal stretch, abdominal co-contraction).

All patients will receive the treatment program once a day for successive 5 days.
