Brief Summary

Patients with COPD, suffer symptoms of breathlessness and leg weakness. Exercise programmes in the form of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) have been shown to improve both of these symptoms significantly. PR involves patients attending a hospital or community centre. For some patients, leaving the house is an ordeal. This study investigated the effectiveness of an exercise video programme delivered in the patients home.
