Study Summary
The two hypotheses to be tested in this study are that: 1. The administration of transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation (TCEMS) after completion of conventional exercise training in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) will result in further improvements in exercise tolerance, functional status and symptoms of patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) above those achieved in PR alone. 2. TCEMS can improve exercise tolerance, functional status and symptoms even among COPD patients who fail to make gains in exercise tolerance by participating in conventional PR due to their debilitation and/or marked cardio-respiratory impairment.
Primary Outcome
The incremental Shuttle Walk Test will be used as a measure of exercise capacity. This test measures the maximal distance walked by the patient around two position markers set 10 meters apart, at a pace set by audio signals from a cassette tape. Minute-by-minute walking speed is increased until the patient feels too tired or short of breath to continue, or is unable to walk at least half of the 10 meter distance by the time the next audio signal is heard. Patients who routinely use supplemental
