Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective. The study was aimed at the assessment of qualification of COPD patients participating in the pulmonary rehabilitation program covering models A, B, C, D and E. Materials and methods. 174 COPD patients treated were included in the study. Exercise tolerance was assessed in all patients, based on a treadmill test or 6-minute walk test. The physiotherapy program was based on efficiency trainings of intensity determined individually for each patient. A result of the exercise test constituted a basis for qualification for an appropriate rehabilitation model and for individual selection of intensity level. The exercise test was repeated three weeks later, after the end of the physiotherapy program. Results. Results of pre- and post-rehabilitation tests in both groups were statistically analysed. Intra-group assessments used t-Student test for dependent samples. Mean values of individual indexes, standard deviations and mean growth of all indexes were calculated. A chart frame area plot of all variables was used for the analysis of test results. Conclusions. 1. A significant improvement of exercise tolerance was observed after a physiotherapy program both in patients assessed using the modified Brice’s protocol and in those assessed using the 6-minute walk test 2. The study demonstrated that the assessment of exercise tolerance is a basis for selection of exercise intensity level. 3. Efficacy of physiotherapy of COPD patients participating in pulmonary rehabilitation programs was demonstrated.
