5. Conventional chest physiotherapy (CCPT) versus forced expiratory technique (FET): objective change in exercise capacity – Reisman 1988.
Wmax % predicteda | CCPT mean (SD) | FET mean (SD) |
Baseline | 98 (30) % predicted | 109 (24) % predicted |
Follow‐up | 99 (23) % predicted | 94 (19) % predicted |
CCPT: conventional chest physiotherapy; FET: forced expiration technique; SD: standard deviation; Wmax: maximal work capacity. anormal values reported by Godfrey 1971 were used for the calculations.
