Overview
Brief Summary
Patients with COPD often have limitations to physical performance. There are several tests for evaluating physical performance, unfortunately many of them can be time consuming and require specialized equipment an substantial space. Short physical performance battery is a simple test that requires little resources and can be performed both at institutions and in the homes of patients. SPPB has high predictive abilities in identifying older adults at greater risk for mortality, nursing home admission, hospitalization, and incidence of disability. The investigators would like to evaluate possible changes in the SPPB score after a 4-week rehabilitation program. The investigators would also like to look at possible relationships between the SPPB and other physical performance measures, dyspnea, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and health related quality of life.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients with all stages of COPD
- •Decision making capacity to provide informed written consent
- •Ability to understand and complete the questionnaires
Exclusion Criteria
- •Exacerbation within the last four weeks
- •Co-morbidities that limits the patient's physical performance more than COPD

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Short physical performance battery (SPPB)
Time Frame: Pre and posttest with 4 weeks in between
SPPB is comprised of 3 tasks: a hierarchial standing balance test (side by side, semi-tandem and tandem), 4-m habitual gait speed, and 5 sit to stand from a chair. Each task is scored (based on time) from 0-4 Points (p) and then summarized into a total score of 0-12 p, where 12 p represents the highest performance.
Secondary Outcomes
- COPD assessment test (CAT)(4 weeks)
- Fatigue severity scale (FSS)(4 weeks)
- Peripheral oxygenation level(4 weeks)
- 6-minute walk test (6MWT)(4 weeks)
- Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS)(4 weeks)
- Lung function(4 weeks)
- Borg category ratio-10 scale (Borg CR-10 scale)(4 weeks)
- Bilateral leg press 1 repetition Maximum (RM)(4 weeks)
- Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (MMRC)(4 weeks)
