Summary

A COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), is a group of progressive lung diseases. COPD is a preventable and treatable respiratory disorder largely caused by smoking and long term exposure to chemical irritants. This study aims to provide essential insights into the reliability, validity, responsiveness and Interpretability of such tests, enabling healthcare professionals to make informed decisions about patient recovery progress and the optimization of rehabilitation protocols.

Detailed description

A COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), is a group of progressive lung diseases, a preventable and treatable respiratory disorder largely caused by smoking and long term exposure to chemical irritants. COPD affects the respiratory system and is progressive, which can result in a number of difficulties or impairments. ) Effect on Daily Activities, Work Limitations, Fatigue Muscle Weakness, Breathlessness and Reduced Exercise Capacity, and Impaired Quality of Life. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a comprehensive course that helps people with chronic respiratory illnesses, such as COPD, improve their overall health and quality of life. Clinimetric properties of four distinct tools designed for assessing performance-based physical functional outcomes following COPD patients surgery. 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT), 2 minute Walk test (2MWT), and Timed Up and GO (TUG), 30sec sit to stand test (30sec STS) will be assessed to determine any changes in their functionality test.
