Thoracic Mobilization for Restrictive Lung Disease
Sponsor: Chungnam National University Sejong Hospital
Summary
This study aims to investigate the immediate effects of thoracic mobilization techniques on cough capacity, dyspnea, and pulmonary function in patients with restrictive lung disease. The intervention will be applied in a single session, and outcomes will be measured before and after the intervention to evaluate short-term physiological changes.
Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Effects of Thoracic Mobilization and Conventional Respiratory Therapy on Cough Capacity, Dyspnea, and Pulmonary Function in Patients With Restrictive Lung Disease

Interventions
Thoracic mobilization
Participants in this group will receive thoracic mobilization techniques in addition to conventional respiratory therapy. Thoracic mobilization will be delivered by a licensed physical therapist using passive manual techniques targeting the thoracic spine and rib cage to improve chest wall mobility and respiratory function.
conventional therapy
Participants in this group will receive conventional respiratory therapy, including diaphragmatic breathing, pursed-lip breathing, and chest expansion exercises. The therapy will be administered by a licensed physical therapist following standard pulmonary rehabilitation protocols.
