简要总结
Evaluate the effect of the use of elastic tape in chest wall and abdomen in the physical capacity, psychosocial distress levels, quality of life and anxiety, and depression symptoms of individuals with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation.
详细描述
Individuals will be evaluated on two non-consecutive days (7 days apart). On the first visit, wil be obtained: clinical and anthropometric data and assessed clinical control [COPD Assessment Test™(CAT)], health-related quality of life [Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (CRQ)], and anxiety and depression levels [Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)]. Patients will also perform a complete pulmonary function test. After, the volunteers will receive a triaxial accelerometer to assess their physical activity level (PAL) and will be instructed to return after seven days. On the second visit, patients will undergo the Incremental Shuttle Walking Test (ISWT), and the Endurance Shuttle Walking Test (ESWT), without ET.
After the assessments, the individuals will be randomized. Randomization will be computer generated (www.randomization.com) by an investigator who will not be involved in individual recruitment, evaluation, or intervention. The allocation of individuals will be secret using consecutive numbered, sealed, and opaque envelopes (concealed allocation). Initial and post-intervention assessments will be performed by an investigator who will not be involved in the recruitment, evaluation, or intervention. After inclusion, individuals will start a pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program for eight weeks; twice a week, individuals in the ET group will have the tape applied at the beginning of each session and removed at the end. After completing the 8-week PR period, individuals will undergo the same tests performed in two visits.

结局指标
主要结局
Functional Exercise Capacity: The total time reached in the Endurance Shuttle Walking Test (ESWT)
时间窗: Change from baseline at 8 weeks of intervention.
The patients will be instructed to walk in a 10-meter corridor limited by cones (with a distance of 9 meters between them), and the speed will be determined by a sound signal issued by cell phone, in this case, the speed will be determined using 85% of the maximum speed reached in the Incremental Shuttle Walking Test (ISWT) and will be constant throughout the test.
次要结局
- Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS): The questionnaire was developed to identify symptoms of anxiety and depressive mood.(Change from baseline at 8 weeks of intervention.)
- Health-related Quality of Life: was assessed by using the Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (CRQ)(Change from baseline at 8 weeks of intervention.)
- Clinical Control: COPD Assessment Test™ (CAT) is a specific questionnaire for COPD that assesses the impact of the symptoms of the disease(Change from baseline at 8 weeks of intervention.)
