| Abstract: | Background and Objective: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary is a lung disease characterized by chronic obstruction of lung airflow that interferes with normal breathing and is not fully reversible. The prevalence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in India was reported in between 6.6 to 7.7%. In Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease there is reduction of expiratory flow rate and slowed emptying of lungs which leads to reduction in Exercise Tolerance and Quality of life. It is important to improve Exercise Tolerance and Quality of life in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients using a multidisciplinary approach tailored according to the patient’s needs. Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation and Pulmonary Rehabilitation are proved to be effective in improving Exercise Tolerance and Quality of life in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients. To our knowledge there were no studies done comparing Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation of the lower limbs and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. Hence need of the study arises. Methods: Quasi Experimental study design, there were 108 subjects with average age of over 45 years, having a clinical diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease were randomly allocated into two groups. Group A (n=54) received Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation of lower limb and combined with Pulmonary Rehabilitation and Group B (n=54) received Pulmonary Rehabilitation alone for intervention was given to participants 5 sessions per week for 4 weeks. The outcomes of this Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation of the lower limbs combined with Pulmonary Rehabilitation were measured by 6-Minute Walk Test for Exercise Tolerance and St. George Respiratory Questionnaire for Quality of life in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. RESULTS: Independent ‘t’ test was used to compare the mean significance difference between continuous variables. Paired ‘t’ test was used to assess the Statistical difference between pre and post test scores of Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation of the lower limb. Statistical analysis of this data revealed that within group comparison both groups showed significant improvement in all parameters whereas in between groups Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation of the lower limb combined with Pulmonary Rehabilitation group improved better than the Pulmonary rehabilitation alone group. CONCULSION: The present study concludes Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation of the lower limbs combined with Pulmonary Rehabilitation and pulmonary rehabilitation alone group showed significant improvements in reduction of Exercise Tolerance and Quality of life in subjects with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. However, Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation of the lower limbs combined with Pulmonary Rehabilitation is more effective than Pulmonary Rehabilitation alone group. Therefore, it may be recommended from these findings that Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation that may be used as an adjunct to Pulmonary Rehabilitation for treatment of Quality of life in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease subjects. |
