In multidimensional Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) classification, the choice of symptom assessment instrument (modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale [mMRC] or COPD test [CAT]) can lead to a different distribution patients in each quadrant. Considering that physical activities daily living (PADL) is an important functional outcome COPD, objective this study was determine which more strongly associated with and differentiates better PADL COPD.The...

The Glittre ADL (TGlittre) test is a specifically designed to assess functional limitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. However, it not known if can differentiate the performance of these patients from healthy subjects.To investigate whether able capacity COPD that subjects and compare cardiorespiratory response between six-minute walk (6MWT).The study included 10 with (GOLD 2 4) matched by age who performed following: spirometry pre- post-bronchodilator, two...

The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological responses induced by Glittre-ADL test (TGlittre) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and compare them those 6-minute walk (6MWT).Cross-sectional observational study.Eighteen COPD 66 years (standard deviation (SD) 8) forced expiratory volume 1 s 40.4% (SD 16.8) predicted) who performed randomized order 6MWT TGlittre on 2 separate days.Baseline cardiopulmonary variables were similar between (p > 0.05)....

ABSTRACT Objective: To develop reference equations for the Glittre Activities of Daily Living test (Glittre ADL-test) on basis anthropometric and demographic variables in apparently healthy individuals. A secondary objective was to determine reliability a sample COPD patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study including 190 individuals (95 males; median age, 54.5 years [range, 42-65]; FEV1 = 97% 91-105.2]; FVC 96% 88.5-102]) recruited from general community 74 patients (55 mean 65 ± 8...

Dynamic hyperinflation leads to dyspnoea and consequent limitations in functional capacity chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It has been shown that the response pursed-lips breathing terms of dynamic lower-limb exercise is variable, its effects on activities daily living are unknown. This study aimed evaluate effect patients with disease a test multiple-task test.Randomized cross-over study.Twenty-five (16 men, mean age 64 ± 7 years, forced expiratory volume 1 s (FEV1) = 41.7 14.7%...

The study aimed to investigate the reliability, construct, and discriminant validity of Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire 3 (BREQ-3) for evaluating motivational regulations self-determination exercise Brazilian adults aged 50 years or older. assessed motivation exercise, peripheral muscle strength, physical performance, functional capacity, cardiovascular fitness, frailty phenotype. Two raters independently applied BREQ-3. reliability was evaluated using internal consistency,...

The Glittre-ADL test (TGlittre) is a valid and reliable for the evaluation of functional capacity involves multiple physical activities daily living (PADL), which are known to be troublesome patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). However, it still unknown if this also able reflect performance COPD.To investigate whether TGlittre reflects COPD necessary time complete PADL varies according disease severity.Thirty-eight (age 65, SD=7 years; forced expiratory volume in first...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive disease that reduces functional capacity, deteriorating the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL). A close relationship between morbidity and mortality with limitation observed in patients COPD.To determine if there ADL BODE index, which predictor mortality, moderate severe COPD.Thirty-nine COPD GOLD 2 4 recruited by convenience, were submitted following tests: spirometry, body mass index (BMI), London Chest Activity...

Chronic hypoxemia in patients with COPD is a limiting factor that associated disease progression and significantly contributes to decreased physical activity. Although correction of results physiological improvements, oxygen therapy may be related social isolation inactivity. However, few studies have objectively investigated the level activity daily life (PADL) these patients. The objective this study was compare PADL subjects on home no therapy, investigate whether PADL.In study, 29...

A limitação nas atividades de vida diária (AVD) por dispneia é um achado comum nos pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca (IC), classe funcional III e IV. avaliação específica da AVD poderia ser utilizada como parâmetro evolução doença resposta terapêutica. Entretanto, há uma escassez instrumentos das nessa população. Dessa forma, o objetivo do estudo foi verificar a aplicabilidade escala London Chest Activity of Daily Living (LCADL) teste AVD-Glittre (T Glittre), na indivíduos IC Participaram...

Introduction Functional status is an important component of health related quality life (QOL) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However there a lack studies aiming to evaluate the association between QOL and different methods for assessing patient´s limitation perform ADL. Objectives To investigate functional status, measured by four instruments: London Chest Activity Daily Living scale (LCADL), six-minute walking test (6MWT), Glittre ADL-test (TGlittre)...

BACKGROUND: the assessment of functional capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been performed by simple and easy to apply methods that mimic everyday activities, such as Chester step test (TChester). OBJECTIVES: investigate whether TChester is able differentiate magnitude cardiorespiratory response COPD from healthy subjects; compare it induced shuttle (TShuttle) six-minute walk (6MWT). METHOD: 10 (64±10 years, forced expiratory volume at first second -...

Objetivos: Realizar uma revisão não sistemática da literatura a fim de explorar os principais instrumentos utilizados para avaliar limitação funcional pacientes com DPOC. Métodos: Pesquisou-se nas bases dados Medline, PubMed e SciELO, usando-se termos: atividades vida diária, cotidianas, físicas na capacidade doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica. Resultados: Os foram classificados, conforme suas características, em: questionários escalas, testes clínicos sensores movimento. Descreveram-se...

ABSTRACT Objective: To estimate the prevalence of respiratory symptoms and asthma, according to body mass index (BMI), as well evaluate factors associated with physician-diagnosed in individuals ≥ 40 years age. Methods: This was a population-based cross-sectional study conducted Florianópolis, Brazil, probability sampling. Data were collected during home visits. Demographic data collected, reports symptoms, medications use, comorbidities. Anthropometric measurements taken. Individuals also...

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the validity of an eight-contact electrode bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) system within a household scale for assessing whole body composition in COPD patients. Methods: Seventeen patients with (mean age = 67 ± 8 years; mean FEV1 38.6 16.1% predicted; and mass index 24.7 5.4 kg/m2) underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) BIA assessment. Results: There was strong inter-method correlation fat (r 0.95), fat-free 0.93), lean but moderate bone...
