Quantification of physical activities in daily life patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has increasing clinical interest. However, detailed comparison healthy subjects is not available. Furthermore, it unknown whether time spent actively during related to lung function, muscle force, or maximal and functional exercise capacity. We assessed movement intensity the DynaPort activity monitor 50 (age 64 ± 7 years; FEV1 43 18% predicted) 25 elderly individuals 66 5 years). Patients...
Recently, it was suggested that fatigue of peripheral muscles could contribute to exercise limitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In order quantify the role muscle force, we restudied potential determinants capacity (6-min walking distance [6 MWD] and maximal oxygen consumption [V02max]) 41 consecutive COPD (FEV1, 43 +/- 19% predicted, TLCO, 56 25% predicted) admitted our rehabilitation program. VO2max (incremental cycle ergometer test), 6 MWD (best three),...
Age-related memory impairments have been associated with structural changes in the dopaminergic system, but underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Recent work indicates that iron accumulation might be of particular relevance. As accumulates, a degeneration myelin sheaths has observed elderly, relationship between both and their impact on performance healthy elderly humans important open questions. To address this issue, we combined an established behavioral paradigm to test [verbal learning...
Objectives: To investigate whether a daily exercise session, using bedside cycle ergometer, is safe and effective intervention in preventing or attenuating the decrease functional capacity, status, quadriceps force that associated with prolonged intensive care unit stay. A stay muscle dysfunction, which may contribute to an impaired status up 1 yr after hospital discharge. No evidence available concerning effectiveness of early training prevent these detrimental complications. Design:...
This document outlines recommendations for physiotherapy management COVID-19 in the acute hospital setting. It includes: workforce planning and preparation; a screening tool determining requirement physiotherapy; selection of treatments personal protective equipment. is intended use by physiotherapists other relevant stakeholders care setting caring adult patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19.
Evidence-based recommendations on the clinical use of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in lung and heart disease are presented, with reference to assessment intolerance, prognostic evaluation therapeutic interventions ( e.g. drugs, supplemental oxygen, training). A commonly used grading system for evidence-based guidelines was applied, grade recommendation ranging from A, highest, D, lowest. For symptom-limited incremental exercise, CPET indices, such as peak O 2 uptake V ′O ), at...
Intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness is a frequent complication of critical illness. It unclear whether it marker or mediator poor outcomes.To determine acute outcomes, 1-year mortality, and costs ICU-acquired among long-stay (≥8 d) ICU patients to assess the impact recovery at discharge.Data were prospectively collected during randomized controlled trial. Impact on outcomes was analyzed with one-to-one propensity-score-matching for baseline characteristics, illness severity, risk...
The factors determining utilization of health care resources in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are poorly understood. In order to obtain insight into these factors, we studied the 57 stable COPD a forced expiratory volume one second (FEV1) 36 +/- 9% predicted. Patients were divided two groups: admitted at least twice last year (high medical consumption; n = 23) or not (low 34). Other variables related were; number hospital days; out-patient visits department year;...

Muscle weakness often complicates critical illness and is associated with devastating short- long-term consequences. For interventional studies, reliable measurements of muscle force in the intensive care unit (ICU) are needed.To examine interobserver agreement, two observers independently measured Medical Research Council (MRC) sum-score (n = 75) handgrip strength 46) a cross-sectional ICU sample.The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for MRC was 0.95 (0.92-0.97). The kappa...
