Study Summary
This study is designed to provide information regarding how to improve pulmonary rehabilitation for persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Pulmonary rehabilitation is an exercise program for COPD patients that is recommended and benefits some, but not all, patients. The question being studied in this trial is whether during an exercise program, walking on an incline might be better than walking on faster on a flat surface in training muscles so that patients might be less short of breath with exercise.
Primary Outcome
Respiratory rate will be analyzed using motion capture markers on the chest. With custom computer code, the markers will be identified to model a sphere. The volume of the sphere will be recorded over time. As the volume increases and decreases, respiratory flow will be identified, and respiratory rate can be calculated.
Interventions
- OTHER walking on incline or walking at increasing speed for 36 visits
