Current practices in physiotherapy management of COPD in Pakistan by Sajjan Iqbal Memon, Fahad Tanveer, Gulzar Usman, Misbah Shakeel

“…Various studies have demonstrated that breathing exercises are efficacious in enhancing the strength of the muscles involved in inhalation and increasing the ability to engage in physical activity for those diagnosed with COPD.2 Physiotherapists routinely utilize the active cycle of breathing approach as a non-pharmacological method for airway clearance.3 Furthermore, the effects of oscillatory positive expiratory pressure therapy on the quality of life and objective signs of cough and sleep disturbance in COPD patients with regular sputum production have been investigated.4 The combination of postural drainage techniques and chest mobilization has been proven to effectively manage pneumonia and enhance postural alignment in patients with COPD.5 Several investigations are conducted to compare the postural alignment of COPD patients with that of healthy individuals and to establish a correlation between pulmonary function and postural alignment in the COPD group that has accounted for favorable results.6 In addition, the existing evidence suggests that active breathing strategies, such as the active cycle of breathing techniques, autogenic drainage, and forceful expiration, can be effective in managing COPD.7 At present, COPD management in Pakistan faces practical challenges such as resource limitations and training access for physiotherapists. …”
