Summary

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) had systemic repercussion and lead to peripheral muscular dysfunction. Muscular atrophy limits aerobic capacity and is a major limitation of daily activity and quality of life. Technologies likes' neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) are currently being adapted and tested to support exercise training. The investigators hypothesized that functional electrical stimulation cycling improves VO2 and aerobic capacities during exercise compared to endurance training.

Conditions

• COPD

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	FES-cycling	Patients performed an endurance tests with functional electrical stimulation during 30 minutes with an oxygen uptake measure.
DEVICE	Classic cycloergometer	Patients performed an endurance tests on classic ergometer during 30 minutes with a sham electrical stimulation with an oxygen uptake measure.
