We described physical activity measures and hourly patterns in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) after stratification for generic COPD-specific characteristics and, based on multiple measures, we identified clusters of patients. In total, 1001 COPD (65% men; age, 67 years; forced expiratory volume the first second [FEV 1 ], 49% predicted) were studied cross-sectionally. Demographics, anthropometrics, lung function clinical data assessed. Daily analysed from a...
Long COVID represents a significant challenge in understanding the prolonged impact of disease. Despite its increasing recognition, detailed insights into long-term cardiopulmonary consequences remain sparse. This study aimed to evaluate functional capacity individuals with persistent symptoms after severe COVID-19 infection compared control without symptomatic or mild 17 months. is case-control assessing 34 divided two groups regarding by distance 6-min walk test (D6MWT) associated gas...
Background: Neurological and musculoskeletal manifestations related to COVID-19 are prevalent can persist beyond 12 weeks, characterizing the “Long COVID”. This paper aims describe sociodemographic clinical profile reporting prevalence of cognitive, emotional motor symptoms patients seen at 2 Brazilian-Rehabilitation hospitals. Methods: Multicentric, descriptive observational, cross-sectional study, carried out by reviewing electronic medical records patients, from March September 2021....
Seasonal changes in physical activity daily life (PADL) of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) living regions the world contrasting (i.e., mild or marked) weather variations have not been yet investigated. We aimed to quantify PADL and compare its variability caused by seasonality COPD who live different summer-winter climatic (i.e. Londrina, Brazil Leuven, Belgium). In a longitudinal, prospective observational study, from Belgium wore SenseWear Armband for 7 days...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> To avoid symptoms, patients with COPD may reduce the amount of activities daily living (ADL). Therefore, aim present study was to develop a standardized protocol evaluate ADL performance in subjects (Londrina protocol) and assess validity reliability this population. <h3>METHODS:</h3> The Londrina created based on included previous studies aimed at investigating outcomes from ADL. Activities were because they could represent other similar patterns be actually performed,...
The aim of this article is to investigate which global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease (GOLD) classification (B-C-D or II-III-IV) better reflects the functionality patients with moderate very severe pulmonary (COPD). Ninety COPD were classified according GOLD B-C-D and II-III-IV classifications. Functionality was assessed by different outcomes: 6-min walk test (6MWT), activities daily living (ADL) (London Chest ADL Scale), life activity/inactivity variables activity...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> It is important to assess activities of daily living (ADL) in older adults due impairment independence and quality life. However, there no objective standardized protocol available this outcome. Thus, the aim study was verify reproducibility validity a new for ADL assessment applied physically independent age ≥50 y, Londrina protocol, establish an equation predict reference values protocol. <h3>METHODS:</h3> Ninety-three y had their performance evaluated by registering...
<b>Background:</b> Little is known about the influence of weather conditions on physical activity in daily life (PADL) patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) living regions world contrasting (i.e., mild or marked) variations. <b>Aims:</b> To quantify variability PADL caused by seasonality (summer and winter) who live different climatic characteristics (Londrina, Brazil Leuven, Belgium); to compare from both locations, when adjusted for climate. <b>Methods:</b> In a...
Background:The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) seems to be a better choice improve physical and functional capacity after acute infection.However, there is lack of evidence regarding the effects different strategies optimize post-acute phase reduce long COVID-19 deteriorations.Objective: To compare use noninvasive ventilation (NIV) plus aerobic exercise strategy during PR program with standard (without NIV) on quality life outcomes in post-COVID-19.Methods:...
<b>Background:</b> Different protocols of the sit-to-stand test (STS) are available to assess functional capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). <b>Aims:</b> To compare three STS and correlate them with important clinical outcomes patients COPD. <b>Methods:</b> Nineteen COPD (10 men; FEV<sub>1</sub>:53±15%pred) performed (5-repetition [5rep], 30-second [30sec] 1-minute [1min]). Since were different, speed (number repetitions per second [rep/sec]) was used for analysis all...
