Percentage of participants (CI) with a change in forced vital capacity (FVC) from baseline above the minimum clinically important difference (MCID)^{^}

	PR (n = 15)		ST+PR (n = 9)		ST+SM+PR (n = 9)
Weeks	16	24	16	24	16	24
FVC	40 (16, 68)	33 (12, 62)	78 (40, 97)	67 (30, 93)	89 (52, 100)	89 (52, 100)

^{^}MCID: minimum clinically important difference; FVC: forced vital capacity.

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR): group 1; soft tissue therapy+pulmonary rehabilitation (ST+PR): group 2; soft tissue therapy+spinal manipulation+pulmonary rehabilitation (ST+SM+PR): group 3; values are mean and (standard error).
