- Brief Summary
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation. The patients are suffering dyspnea year by year, resulting in the decreased exercise tolerance and quality of life. Patients with COPD often have both inspiratory muscles and expiratory muscle dysfunction. Respiratory muscle training was one of the widely used pulmonary rehabilitation method in COPD patients. Respiratory muscle training include inspiratory training ,expiratory training and concurrent inspiratory and expiratory muscle training . Both of the training methods are effective. However, the effects of these different types of respiratory muscle training method on the respiratory physiology and neural respiratory drive of COPD are still unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the different effects of these respiratory muscle training methods on respiratory mechanics and central drive in COPD patients. Besides,the effect of the different respiratory muscle training methods was compared between patients with and without respiratory muscle weakness.
- Detailed Description
The patients with COPD will participate in a rehabilitation program including inspiratory muscle training, expiratory muscle training and concurrent inspiratory and expiratory muscle training.
The outcome measures are the classic respiratory mechanics indicators and respiratory center drive.

Group Intervention Description respiratory muscle weakness inspiratory pressure threshold device Patients with respiratory muscle weakness are performing the inspiratory pressure threshold device, expiratory pressure threshold device and concurrent inspiratory and expiratory muscle device for one minute randomly. normal respiratory muscle inspiratory pressure threshold device Patients with respiratory muscle weakness are performing the inspiratory pressure threshold device, expiratory pressure threshold device and concurrent inspiratory and expiratory muscle device for one minute randomly.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Diaphragmatic function Change from baseline in diaphragm electromyogram at the load of threshold (10 minutes later,20minutes later,30 minutes later, 40 minutes later) Diaphragmatic function can be assessed by diaphragm electromyogram(EMGdi) which reflect the physiological activity of the diaphragm and indicate functional status of the central drive.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Respiratory pressure Change from baseline in respiratory pressure at the load of threshold (10 minutes later,20minutes later,30 minutes later, 40 minutes later) Respiratory pressure parameter is transdiaphragmatic pressure ( Pdi) in cmH2O, which reflect the strength of diaphragm.
Respiratory volume Change from baseline in respiratory volume at the load of threshold (10 minutes later,20minutes later,30 minutes later, 40 minutes later) Respiratory volume parameter is minute ventilation (VE) in liter(L).
respiratory work Change from baseline in transdiaphragmatic pressure time product at the load of threshold (10 minutes later,20minutes later,30 minutes later, 40 minutes later) respiratory work is associated with transdiaphragmatic pressure time product
