简要总结
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a lung disease that is characterized by incompletely reversible airflow obstruction. It is projected to be the fifth leading burden of disease worldwide by the year 2020. Pulmonary dysfunction reduces exercise capacity in COPD patients, and it has been previously shown that COPD patients suffer deterioration in their quality of life. The objective of this study is to examine the effects of a physical therapy intervention in stable patients with COPD.
详细描述
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading diseases causing mortality and morbidity, despite advanced pharmacotherapy and therapeutic management. Although COPD primarily affects the lungs, it also implies extrapulmonary manifestations, such as nutritional depletion, skeletal muscle dysfunction, and abnormal respiratory muscles.
Pulmonary rehabilitation is widely used to treat COPD patients and it has been shown that pulmonary rehabilitation should be implemented at all COPD stages, bringing them benefits in terms of improved exercise capacity, symptoms, and quality of life.

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental group
COPD patients with stable disease will be recruited and they will receive physiotherapy added to standard care.
干预措施: Physiotherapy added to standard care (Other)
Control group
COPD patients with stable disease will be recruited and they will receive standard care.
干预措施: Standard care (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Changes in Muscle strength
时间窗: Baseline, 8 weeks
Quadriceps strength will be assessed with a portable dynamometer.
Changes in Exercise capacity
时间窗: Baseline, 8 weeks
Five times sit to stand test (5STS) will be used to assess exercise capacity, 5STS is a simple assessment tool that is feasible in all healthcare settings, and may be a rapid method of assessing changes in exercise capacity in COPD and screening for poor physical functioning individuals.
次要结局
