Abstract:

This is a clinical investigation performed at the Orlando Veterans Administration Outpatient Clinic, Orlando, Florida. It investigated the relationship between leg length inequality, and pulmonary function in military veterans suffering from (COPD). Briefly, the 6 veterans were measured for leg length by means of a standing x-ray. They were taught a self-mobilization method of the thoracic cage. The average age was 70 years. A 20 percent increase in pulmonary function was noted in this controlled study.
