What this Trial Is About
The group A will receive percussions and diaphragmatic breathing with 1 session a day for 3 days in a week for 4 weeks. In this way total 12 sessions will be given to the patients. And group B will receive only diaphragmatic breathing with 1 session a day for total 3 days in a week for 4 weeks. By this intervention procedure, I will find out the effects of these techniques on airway clearance of the pneumonia patients, their effect on the quality of life and on Dyspnea. For this I will use 4 tool questionnaires that are 1-BCSS, 2- Modified Borg Dyspnea scale, 3-Rate of perceived exertion scale, 4- Health-related Quality of Life-14. BCSS will be used to assess breathlessness, cough and sputum retention. Modified Borg Dyspnea scale is 0-10 rated numerical scale used to measure Dyspnea. RPE is a way to measure the level of exertion a person feels during physical activity. HRQOL-14 will assess the quality of life of the pneumonia patients.
