Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of quadriceps strengthening with neuromuscular electrical stimulation versus cycle ergometer as part of pulmonary rehabilitation program , in patients with severe or very severe COPD , according to GOLD with BODE index ≥ 5 .

Detailed description

It's a prospective ,multicentre,randomised, single-blind study which compare the effectiveness of quadriceps strengthening with neuromuscular electrical stimulation versus cycle ergometer training as part of pulmonary rehabilitation program. The program lasts from 3 to 4 weeks. 102 patients will included, diagnosed with COPD stages GOLD III and IV, and BODE index ≥ 5. The commun program: training protocol performed on treadmill,quadriceps resistance training,patient therapeutic education,collective gymnastics,relaxation, session psychological care, smoking cessation program and nutritional management if necessary. The primary criterion is the one minute sit to stand test.
