Article Synopsis
- Large airway collapse (LAC) refers to the abnormal inward movement of the trachea and main bronchi during exhalation, commonly seen in chronic respiratory conditions like COPD and asthma.
- Symptoms of LAC include a barking cough, difficulty breathing during exertion, and a higher risk of lung infections, which can negatively impact daily activities and overall function.
- The article introduces a "ABC model" for physiotherapy that focuses on enhancing airway clearance, improving breathing patterns, and increasing exercise capacity, drawn from both current research and clinical expertise.
