Sheral T. Kachpile, Dr. Varoon Jaiswal (PT), Dr. Snehal Ghuman (PT), Dr. Snehal Ghodey (PT).Immediate effect of abdominal binder onpeak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Int J of Allied Med Sci and Clin Res 2018; 6(1): 114-117
The purpose of the study is to determine the immediate effect of abdominal binder on peak expiratory flow Rate (PEFR) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. 30 subjects were selected as COPD as a diagnosis. All 30 subjects were checked for their peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) by wright peak flow meter in sitting position.3 readings were taken and average of them was recorded. All 30 patients were then applied an abdominal binder in sitting position and checked for peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR).3 readings were taken and Average of them was recorded. The mean PEFR value after the application of abdominal binder and prior to application of abdominal binder was analyzed and mean PEFR value showed significant increase after the application of abdominal binder. Thus this study says immediate effect of abdominal binder on peak expiratory flow rate in COPD patients is increase in peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)

2. Physiotherapy Interventions in COVID-19 Patient with Multiple Comorbidities: A Case Report
Kachpile ST, Lohakare PK, Jiandani MP et. al. Physiotherapy interventions in COVID-19 patient with multiple comorbidities: a case report. Int J Health Sci Res. 2020; 10(10):96-101.
The rapid outbreak of coronavirus disease, which arose from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, has become a public health emergency. Large number of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 need critical care for prolong period of time. There is risk of severe adverse outcomes in COVID-19 patients with multiple comorbidities. Collaboration between medical interventions and early and sustained comprehensive rehabilitation play an important role in patient recovery from acute care to discharge. Physiotherapist, who play an important role in multidisciplinary treatment contribute majorly to improve patient’s lung and functional capacity. We present a case of a 52-year-Old male diagnosed with COVID-19 and with multiple comorbidities, focusing on role of pulmonary rehabilitation in collaboration with Medical management and outlining the pathway of recovery from ICU to discharge.
