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.

Conditions

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Short physical performance battery (SPPB)

  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.

  Pre and posttest with 4 weeks in between

Secondary Outcomes (9)

• Lung function

  4 weeks

• 6-minute walk test (6MWT)

  4 weeks

• Borg category ratio-10 scale (Borg CR-10 scale)

  4 weeks

• Peripheral oxygenation level

  4 weeks

• Bilateral leg press 1 repetition Maximum (RM)

  4 weeks
