Despite considerable evidence for the benefit in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), implementation of rehabilitation (PR) is insufficient. However, music therapy may help address this gap due to its unique benefits. Therefore, we aimed develop a music-therapy facilitated telerehabilitation program based on rhythm-guided walking, singing, and objective telemonitoring. A supervised, parallel-group, single-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial will be conducted, including 75 patients with COPD anticipated 1:1:1 ratio into three groups. The intervention groups receive 12-week remotely monitored program, while usual care group not any interventions. Of two groups, multi-module contain walking singing training, only include tempo-guided walking. primary outcome distance incremental shuttle test. Secondary outcomes respiratory muscle function, spirometry, lower extremity symptoms, quality life, anxiety depression levels, physical activity level, training adherence, safety measurements. results study can contribute evaluate home-based music-facilitated which has potential act as supplement and/or substitute (according needs) traditional center-based PR stable COPD.
