Summary
It is an interventional study in which 60 COPD patients estimated to enrol according to random allocation and divided into two groups. The study group will receive pulmonary rehabilitation while the control group will stick to pursed lip breathing only. Pulmonary function (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC), cognitive function by mini mental state examination, physical function by physical tests also, physical activity and sleep by google fit app and vital signs by using different mobile apps. measurements will be evaluated before initiation of the interventions and 12 weeks thereafter.
