Mucus hypersecretion and altered lung functions leads to adverse clinical outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of the Lung Flute and threshold positive expiratory pressure devices on sputum quantity and pulmonary functions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.
