The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the extra thoracic oscillations via high frequency chest wall oscillation vest (HFCWO) versus the intra thoracic oscillations via oscillatory positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) Quake device in COPD Group A: consists of 30 patients will be treated by high frequency chest wall oscillation vest along with their prescribed medical treatment. This program will be performed 4 times per week for 6 successive weeks.
Group B: consists of 30 patients will be treated by vibratory PEP (The Quake) along with their prescribed medical treatment. This program will be performed 4 times per week for 6 successive weeks.
