Abstract
The long-term breathing problems and weak respiratory function is known as COPD or chronic
obstructive pulmonary disorder. It's a pulmonary blockade. The patient has respiratory issues,
cough, and respiratory deficiencies. This disease is progressive and over time, the symptoms
deteriorate. Therefore everyday activities such as dressing, walking, and other simple duties
become difficult. Various causes of COPD include genetics, smoking, and pollution. However,
the most common reason for this disease is tobacco smoking, while other factors play a lesser
role. An important element in assessing patients with COPD is the analysis of EMG and MMG
signals for diaphragm, neck, and chest wall muscles. Non-invasive indicator of the experimental
and clinical significance of diaphragm, neck, and chest wall muscle functions for COPD patients.
This is performed by exploring the frequency and amplitude of muscle signals for ideal
implementation, in particular in cases of muscle contraction. For patients with respiratory
circumstances, the signals acquired with EMG and MMG are viable supplementary instruments
like EMG.

CONFERENCE PAPER3
Introduction:
COPD or Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder is a long-term breathing difficulties and weak
respiratory function. It is a lungs-obstructive disease. The patient has breathing problems,
productive cough and breath shortages (Brij, Chatterji & Marquette, 2016, p245). The condition
is gradual and the symptoms deteriorate in the course of time. Daily activities like dressing,
walking, and other easy tasks therefore become hard. There are different COPD causes,
including genetics, cigarettes, and pollution. Tobacco smoking however, while the other
variables play a lower part, is the most prevalent reason of this disease. Low-ventilated heating
and cooking fires that have not been completely burned are responsible for air polluting that
causes this situation (Brij, Chatterji & Marquette, 2016 p250). These products have long-term
exposures to the respiratory system, particularly the lungs, which lead to inflammatory reactions.
The airways are reduced and diminished as the lung tissue is demolished. The diagnosis of
COPD is determined through trials on lung functions for inefficient air flow. Prevention is
accomplished through improved air quality both outside and indoors. The therapy involves
stopping smoking, pulmonary transplantation, and respiratory rehabilitation. The treatment of
COPD involves bronchodilators, steroids and oxygen treatment and vaccinations to avoid this
disease are also provided (Amal et al. 2017, p250).
Literature review:
The diaphragm is an anatomically below the lungs in the form of a dome. The diaphragm
contracts and plays an inspirational role, which increases the lung volume and causes the chest
cavity to grow and therefore a vacuum in which air flows into the lungs via its nose. When it
expires, the diaphragm relaxes and regains its shape, forcing air out of the lungs (McKenzie,
