Impact of Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Coal Miners: An Interventional Study. فصلنامه فیزیک درمانی. 1404; 15 (3)
چکیده: (279 مشاهده)
Introduction: Progressive airflow restriction and hyperinflation, accompanied by dyspnoea or shortness of breath and changed respiratory patterns, are characteristic symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Evidences indicate that one of the pulmonary risks associated with coal mining is that coal miners are more likely to develop lung diseases such as COPD due to coal mine dust. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the impact of pulmonary rehabilitation on COPD coal miners.
Methodology: An interventional study was carried out among 76 coal miners between 18 to 35 years of age from May 2023 to November 2023 based on the selection criteria. The outcome measures assessed at baseline and after intervention involved incentive spirometer and chest expansion for vital capacity and 6-minute walk test (6MWT) was used to determine the functional capacity.
Results: Maximum patients of COPD were between 24-29 years of age. The pre-and post-intervention vital capacities on incentive spirometer along with chest expansion values demonstrated statistically significant results post-intervention. Furthermore, functional capacity was also found to be improved post-intervention that was assessed by 6MWT with statistically significant results.
Conclusion: The study concluded that diaphragmatic breathing, thoracic expansion exercises and ACBT provided beneficial effects in improving vital capacity that was measured with incentive spirometer and chest expansion as outcome measures along with enhanced functional capacity with statistically significant results on 6MWT.
