Brief Summary: This project proposes to test the hypothesis that osteopathic manipulative treatment OMT given to patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD enrolled in a 12-week pulmonary rehabilitation program PRP will result in improved respiratory pump function over and above that seen in sham and control groups Specifically we will study the effects of three OMT techniques a thoracic inlet indirect myofascial release b rib raising with continued stretch of the paraspinal muscle to the L2 level and c cervical paraspinal muscle stretch with suboccipital muscle release The key clinical readouts will include spirometry P100 and index of diaphragm and inspiratory muscle efficiency maximum inspiratory pressure MIP and maximum expiratory pressure MEP as well as laser evaluation of chest wall excursion Supplementing these objective parameters will be several more subjective clinical outcome measures exercise tolerance 6-minute walk test dyspnea shortness of breath questionnaire and quality of life questionnaire Finally an attempt will be made to correlate biochemical alterations that may shed light on the biological mechanism underlying the OMT procedures
Detailed Description: According to the above directions provide a more extensice description if desired I am choosing to just submit the brief summary

Thank you Sherman Gorbis DO
