Home-based in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Pulmonary rehabilitation consists of a multidisciplinary program of care for patients with chronic respiratory disease, which currently encompasses numerous features and physical training methods aimed at maintaining stability clinic for people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), especially in patients who, even with optimized clinical treatment, continue their decline and symptomatic physical functions and 8 so that these social. goals are achieved the patient with COPD should integrate into a program of RP assiduous and with accompanying several times per week, for several months, which for a number of factors is not always possible. For this reason, it is the research of methodology of RP that hold their effectiveness, but with greater flexibility and viability to people with COPD. On this basis, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a program of RP semi-domiciliar in which the patient suffering from COPD can receive guidance and training in person, to develop it partially in own domicile.

About this study

The protocol of the experimental procedure will begin with the explanation of the purpose, risks and benefits of the study volunteers to patients with COPD. Subsequently, based on an evaluation form, will collect data on the past history and current disease and performed a general physical examination. Then the patients will respond to two questionnaires. The first will research the Medical Council (MRC) 13, which is a dyspnea scale to categorize in terms of disability, patients with COPD. The second questionnaire will be the Airway Questionnaire 20 (AQ20) 14 specific for obstructive pulmonary disease, which is validated for the local language and highly reliable for the evaluation of patients with COPD, containing 20 questions related to respiratory health to evaluate the quality of life. Subsequently, the same day, the patients carry out the following tests: spirometry, respiratory muscle strength, respiratory muscle endurance, assessment of training load of the upper and shuttle test and bioimpedance

Treatment and study plan

Home based pulmonary rehabilitation with exercise

Other

After each group will receive the randomization their booklets containing the exercise routine that should be performed at home., to be held three times a week for two consecutive months. Is also scheduled a visit to the laboratory biweekly Respiratory Functional Assessment in which patients demonstrate their exercise routine program RP semi-home settings for any load, postural corrections and execution of physical exercise, should be refocused.

Primary outcomes

Change from baseline of functional capacity and quality of life after Home-based rehab

Time frame: After two months of treatment

Observe the effectiveness of home rehabilitation on functional capacity and quality of life among the placebo group and intervention as well as pre and post assessment patient care intervention group
