Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patient with stage 2 to 4 (A to D) COPD admitted to a pulmonary rehabilitation program (4 weeks)
  • Patient aged 18 or over
  • Patient able to consent and having signed a consent form

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patient with pain, osteoarthritis or shoulder surgery
  • Patient with a history of Pneumonectomy, lobectomy less than 6 months old

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Compare the effect of upper limbs strength training versus the effect of upper limb endurance training on dyspnea in patients with COPD during a pulmonary rehabilitation program.

Time Frame: Change from inclusion at 4 week

Measurement of dyspnea using the London Chest Daily Activity Living (LCADL) questionnaire. This 15-item, self-administered questionnaire allows an evaluation of dyspnea in patients with COPD during daily activities divided into four components: self-care, domestic, physical, and leisure. Patients could score from 0: "I would not do anyway" to 5: "I need someone else to do this". LCADL score is calculated by aggregating the points assigned to each question, with a higher score representing maximal disability.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Compare dyspnea in daily life between the 2 groups(At inclusion and week 4)
  • Measuring upper limb endurance(At inclusion and week 4)
  • Compare upper limbs muscle fatigue at the end of a functional test using the upper limbs(At inclusion and week 4)
  • Compare dyspnea at the end of a functional test using the upper limbs(At inclusion and week 4)
  • Compare the evolution of upper limb strength between the 2 groups.(At inclusion and week 4)
