Summary
This study looks at how the diaphragm—the main breathing muscle—works in people with COPD during a pulmonary rehabilitation program. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure diaphragm movement and thickness before and after breathing exercises. The goal is to better understand how rehabilitation helps improve breathing and reduce symptoms like shortness of breath. About 46 adults with stable COPD will take part.
