To determine the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation on pulmonary function in non-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.To determine the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation on health related quality of life in non-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.Limited researches are available in non chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.
A review state that "Interstitial lung disease presents clinical features of exertional desaturation and a nonproductive cough. Patients with ILD have significantly reduced exercise capacity as manifested by a reduced maximum work load achieved during exercise, as well as a reduced maximal oxygen uptake VO2max." in previous studies Pulmonary rehabilitation is the use of exercise, education and behavioral interventions for diseases such as non-ILD restrictive lung disease, asthma, lung cancer, bronchiectasis , and pulmonary hypertension, pre and post op thoracic surgery patients. Quality of life (QOL) as an individual's perception of contentment or satisfaction with life in areas he or she considers important, and we define health-related quality of life (HRQL) as an individual's perception of the impact of health (in all its many facets) on his or her quality of life. a study on pulmonary rehabilitation outcomes between individuals with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) and non-COPD disease and its impact on gender.

Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1)
Changes from the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second FEV1 in Liters
Time frame: 3 weeks, 6 weeks
Forced vital Capacity (FVC)
Changes From the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze Forced vital Capacity in Liters
Time frame: 3 weeks,6 weeks
Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)
Changes from the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze peak expiratory flow PEF in Liter/second.
Time frame: 3 weeks,6 weeks
Health related Quality of life
Measured through St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire in its COPD-specific version (SGRQ-C). The SGRQ-C with 40 items provides three component scores for symptoms, activity and impact, and a total score. Each score ranges from 0 (no impairment) to 100 (worst possible). A difference of 4 unit points is considered the minimum clinically important difference (MCID).
Time frame: 3 weeks,6 weeks
