NCT01811446
The purpose of this study is to determine whether muscle activation can be accomplished more effectively and comfortably in challenging subjects using novel configurations of an activation device. A novel device will be compared side by side with a market leading device.
NCT01314807
The aim of this prospective case-control study is to investigate the prevalence, severity and incidence of systemic consequences in newly detected patients with mild and moderate Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Special attention will be paid to skeletal muscle dysfunction and physical inactivity as these factors are, together with smoking, potentially modifiable.
NCT02048306
The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of Family-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and their family members. Dyads (patient and respective family member) will be randomly allocated to either a Family-based PR group or a Conventional PR group. PR programs will consist of exercise training and psychoeducation. In the Family-based PR program, both patients and family members will participate in psychoeducation sessions. In the Conventional PR group, only patients will be included. In both groups, exercise training sessions will be exclusively for patients. It is expected that, by including patients with COPD and their family members in Family-based PR, they will become more competent and confident in the management of the disease, thus reducing the overall impact of COPD on patients and family members' well-being.
