Overview
Brief Summary
A COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), is a group of progressive lung diseases. COPD is a preventable and treatable respiratory disorder largely caused by smoking and long term exposure to chemical irritants. This study aims to provide essential insights into the reliability, validity, responsiveness and Interpretability of such tests, enabling healthcare professionals to make informed decisions about patient recovery progress and the optimization of rehabilitation protocols.
Detailed Description
A COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), is a group of progressive lung diseases, a preventable and treatable respiratory disorder largely caused by smoking and long term exposure to chemical irritants. COPD affects the respiratory system and is progressive, which can result in a number of difficulties or impairments. ) Effect on Daily Activities, Work Limitations, Fatigue Muscle Weakness, Breathlessness and Reduced Exercise Capacity, and Impaired Quality of Life. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a comprehensive course that helps people with chronic respiratory illnesses, such as COPD, improve their overall health and quality of life. Clinimetric properties of four distinct tools designed for assessing performance-based physical functional outcomes following COPD patients surgery. 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT), 2 minute Walk test (2MWT), and Timed Up and GO (TUG), 30sec sit to stand test (30sec STS) will be assessed to determine any changes in their functionality test.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
2MWT (Two-Minute Walk Test)
Time Frame: 6 week
The 2MWT is a functional exercise test designed to evaluate an individual's aerobic capacity and endurance over a shorter duration compared to the 6MWT.
Timed Up and GO (TUG)
Time Frame: 6 week
It is designed to assess an individual's mobility and requires the participant to stand up from a seated position, walk a distance of three meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down.
30 seconds sit to stand test (30SSTS):
Time Frame: 6 week
Used to assess lower extremity strength, balance, and functional capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It involves measuring the number of times a patient can rise from a seated position to a full standing position and then return to sitting within a 30-second period. The test is typically conducted in a chair with a standardized height and armrest comapred TUG test
6MWT (Six-Minute Walk Test)
Time Frame: 6 week
A six-minute walk test to assess your fitness or functional condition. Using a pulse oximeter, the researchers will take your blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation before you start walking. The following instructions will be given to participants. The competitors will walk as close to a chair or cone as they can for six minutes at their regular pace. After that, they will turn around and continue walking back and forth for an additional six minutes. It was shown that this test had good test-retest reliability.
