Abstract

|
|
Purpose : In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program using a talk test in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Methods : The subjects in this study were 20 patients who were diagnosed COPD. We measured forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, peak expiratory flow (PEF), COPD assessment test (CAT), 6-minute walking test (6MWT), and left and right grip strengths before and after 4 weeks of training. We analyzed the data using a paired t test.
Results : A significant increase in FVC, FEV₁, PEF, and left grip strength was observed. However, no significant differences in CAT, 6MWT, and right grip strength were noted.
Conclusion : A home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program using the talk test positively affected respiratory function in patients with COPD.
