Brief Summary: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD is the fourth-leading cause of death It is a progressive illness that requires life-long treatmentPromoting airway clearance AC using mucolytics together with airway clearance techniques ACTs form the basis for pulmonary therapy in COPD careTherefore new airway clearance modalities are required to decrease the detrimental effects of accumulated secretions in COPD

One of the devices used in AC is the high frequency chest wall oscillation The Vest HFCWO involves the use of an inflatable vestjacket that covers the chest and is attached to an air pulse-generating compressor which rapidly inflates and deflates the vest producing oscillations to the chest wall of 5-25 Hz

Another new airway clearance modality is oscillating positive expiratory pressureQuake which combines PEP therapy with high frequency oscillations
Detailed Description: The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the extra thoracic oscillations via high frequency chest wall oscillation vest HFCWO versus the intra thoracic oscillations via oscillatory positive expiratory pressure OPEP Quake device in COPD Group A consists of 30 patients will be treated by high frequency chest wall oscillation vest along with their prescribed medical treatment This program will be performed 4 times per week for 6 successive weeks

Group B consists of 30 patients will be treated by vibratory PEP The Quake along with their prescribed medical treatment This program will be performed 4 times per week for 6 successive weeks
