NCT04122365
Patients with severe COPD will be recruited from the Respiratory Outpatient Clinic of Kowloon Hospital. Baseline (pre-intervention) assessment for all recruited subjects will be conducted by one physiotherapist assessor who is blinded to the group allocation of the subject for respiratory function, musculoskeletal performance, physical performance and quality of life. Then, the subjects will be randomly allocated into either the intervention group with therapist-assisted chest wall mobilization exercises, low intensity walking exercise, home exercises and education sessions or the control group with low intensity walking exercise, home exercises and education sessions. The intervention program will last for 6 weeks with 2 sessions / week (i.e. a total of 12 sessions) in accordance to the recommendation for exercise training programs for patients with COPD by the American College of Sports Medicine. Post-program evaluation will be conducted upon program completion at 6 week. A follow-up session on 3 month after the completion of the program will be carried out to evaluate the cumulative effect of the chest wall mobilization program on respiratory function, musculoskeletal performance, exercise performance and quality of life of the patients.
