PENGARUH INTERVENSI PURSED LIP BREATHING DAN DIAPHRAGMA BREATHING TERHADAP GERAK THORAK ATAS PADA PASIEN PENYAKIT PARU OBSTRUKTIF KRONIS DI RS. PERSAHABATAN RAWAMANGUN TAHUN 2010

Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect between Pursed Lipss Breathing (PLB) and Diaphragma Breathing (DB) on upper thoracal mobility in 30 COPD patients in Persahabatan Hospital in 2010 and to evaluate and describe the upper thoracal chest wall expansion and reduction.
