Background: COPD includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, is a progressive disease characterized by chronic airflow limitation/ obstruction that is either irreversible or partially reversible median prevalence rates were assessed as 5 percent for male and 2.7 percent for female subjects of over 30 years of age

Methods: Total of 60 patients who was diagnosed with COPD by chest physician. Baseline parameters and post variables were recorder, changes in 6 MWT, borg's score and CRQ were recorder and analysed using paired t test in each variable.

Results: A statistical difference were seen after the 4 weeks of PR in all three variables like 6 MWT, Borg's score and CRQ ( p=0.00019, 0.00028 and 0.0102 respectively). These changes were significant with previously established clinical studies. Patients with higher baseline parameters found less improvement as compare to those who had lower baseline parameters.

Conclusion: The PR should include in medical intervention in patients with COPD and also as a standard of care.
