increase cycle duration to 20 minutes with elimination of rest period

a PTA initiates an exercise program with a patient diagnosed with COPD. in order to assist the patient to improve the efficiency of respiration, the PTA instructs the patient in pursed lip breathing. which of the following instructions would be the most beneficial for the patient
breathe out twice as long as you breathe in
a pta treats a patient with emphysema. as a part of the treatment session, the PTA teaches the patient to perform diaphragmatic breathing exercises. one of the primary goals for diaphragmatic breathing is to
decrease accessory muscle use

direct air so that dominant hand rises during inspiration
