- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Improvement of ventilatory parameters, measured by spirometry (FEV1, Pi_max, Pe_max, CV and FVC), of the overall muscle strength measured by the palmar grip strength (dynamometry) and the electrical activity (EMG) of the accessory breathing muscles (sternocleidomastoid and anterior scalene) performed before and after 10 weeks of physiotherapeutic treatment.;Only, in relation to the manovacuometry (Pi_máx and Pe_máx), there was a significant increase in the values, both pre- and post-intervention, both in the Maneuvers group (Pi_max: P = 0.028; Pe_max: P = 0.046), as in the Threshold group (Pi_max: P = 0.028; Pe_max: P = 0.028).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Improvement in the quality of life of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, observed through the Saint George Hospital Respiratory Disease Questionnaire (SGRQ).;In the comparison of SGRQ values, pre and post intervention, in the 3 domains and in the total score, there was a significant improvement for both the Maneuvers group (Symptoms: P = 0.003; Activities: P = 0.021; Psychosocial Impact: P = 0.018 and Total: P = 0.002), as well as for the Threshold group (Symptoms: P = 0.017; Activities: P = 0.012; Psychosocial Impact: P = 0.003 and Total: P = 0.001).
