Cognitive Dysfunction in COPD Patients : Role in the Performance of Cognitive-motor Dual Task Situation?

Completed
Conditions
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Interventions
Other: Cognitive and motor performances
Registration Number
NCT02493790
Lead Sponsor
5 Santé
Brief Summary

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease starting point characterized by multiple systemic effects as cognitive dysfunction. This one seems to have an impact in activity daily living, considered mainly as a cognitive-motor dual task situations. Yet to date, no study has specifically focused in the cognitive-motor performance in patients with COPD or on the effects during a rehabilitation program. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of cognitive dysfunction in COPD, comparing performance between COPD patients and healthy subjects in a single and dual task cognitive-motor situation. The secondary objective was to assess the impact of a rehabilitation program on these performances.

GroupInterventionDescription
VolunteersCognitive and motor performancesCognitive and motor performances were measured in a single and dual task situations.
COPD patientsCognitive and motor performancesCognitive and motor performances were measured in a single and dual task situations, before rehabilitation, and compared to those of healthy subjects. Then, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients were re-evaluated after rehabilitation.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Variability of motor performances in a single and dual task situations3 months

Motor performance were determined by variability of length and surface of postural condition and by step variability in locomotion condition

Variability of Cognitive performances in a single and dual task situations3 months

Cognitive performance were determined by error count and number of substraction during a counting task.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Effect of rehabilitation program on Cognitive performances in a single and dual task3 months

Comparison before and after rehabilitation program of counting task (number of substraction and error count)

Effect of rehabilitation program on motor performances in a single and dual task3 months

Comparison before and after rehabilitation program of variability of length and surface of postural condition and step variability in locomotion condition
