Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by airflow limitation, pulmonary hyperinflation with reduced muscle efficiency resulting in muscle shortening and reduced chest expansion . Stretching increases muscle length and reduce dyspnea . Global postural reeducation (GPR) is used to stretch static muscles, increase flexibility and strength. The aim of the study is to find the effects of global postural reeducation on pulmonary function and chest excursion in moderate COPD subjects. Methods: 40 subjects between 40-50 years were selected by simple random sampling based on inclusion criteria. Baseline values of FEV1/FVC for pulmonary function and chest excursion were assessed . The treatment duration is 30 minutes for 2 days per week for 2 months. 20 patients received GPR with conventional physiotherapy and 20 patients received conventional physiotherapy. After 24 sessions, post test was taken Statistical analysis was done using paired t test and unpaired t test for within and between groups Results: In control group prepost analysis of FEV1/FVC is p˂0.0001 and chest excursion is p˂0.0110 and p˂0.0102 is statistically not significant. In experimental group the prepost analysis of FEV1/FVC is p˂0.0001 and chest excursion is p˂0.0001 and p˂0.0001 is statistically significant. Analysis of effectiveness of experimental and control group, post test FEV1/FVC is p˂0.0001 and chest excursion is p˂0.0001 and p˂ 0.0001 is extremely statistically significant. Conclusion: Thus the above study concludes that GPR had significant improvement statistically on FEV1/FVC and chest excursion in moderate COPD patients. The study accepts alternate hypothesis.
