简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a walking program on exercise capacity and quality of life in patient with COPD. Method: Patients with COPD were randomly assigned to pedometer group (PG) or control group (CON). Subjects in PG walked to target steps daily with pedometer for 6 weeks. Before and after the program, the following measurements were performed: pulmonary function test (PFT), daily steps, Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), COPD Assessment Test (CAT), and quality of life questionnaire (SF-12).
详细描述
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are suffered from impaired pulmonary function and dyspnea which result to limited level of physical activity, and impaired quality of life. Exercise and regular physical activity have been proven to break the vicious circle. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a walking program on exercise capacity and quality of life in patient with COPD. Method: Patients with COPD were randomly assigned to pedometer group (PG) or control group (CON). Subjects in PG walked to target steps daily with pedometer for 6 weeks. Before and after the program, the pulmonary function was assessed by spiromtery test. The exercise capacity were assessed by six-minute walking test, the physical activity level was assessed by daily steps, The quality of life was assessed by COPD Assessment Test (CAT), and quality of life questionnaire (SF-12).

结局指标
主要结局
6 minute walking test
时间窗: week 7
walking distance
Short-form 12 questionnaire (SF-12)
时间窗: week 7
The SF-12 is a quality of life questionnaire. The scores range from 0 (worst conceivable QOL) to 100 (best conceivable QOL)
tidal volume
时间窗: week 7
the amount of air that moves in or out of the lungs with each respiratory cycle. It is measured by spirometers.
daily steps
时间窗: week 7
the number of total walking steps per day which is measured by pedometer.
