Clinical Trial Summary

Pulmonary rehabilitation is effective in improving exercise tolerance, dyspnea, and fatigue in patients with COPD, and exercise training is an important component of pulmonary rehabilitation. Vibration training can be used as a supplement or alternative to traditional exercise and is a short, safe rehabilitation training. COPD patients will be recruited and randomly assigned to the control group, whole-body vibration training group, or local vibration training group. The study aims to confirm the rehabilitative benefits of enhancing lower limb muscle strength, exercise endurance, and the quality of life related to COPD in patients.


Clinical Trial Description

Background Pulmonary rehabilitation is effective in improving exercise tolerance, dyspnea, and fatigue in patients with COPD, and exercise training is an important component of pulmonary rehabilitation. Vibration training can be used as a supplement or alternative to traditional exercise and is a short, safe rehabilitation training. Purpose To enhance the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation, the vibration rehabilitation system will be applied on COPD patients to validate the effectiveness of direct and indirect vibration interventions on lower extremity muscle strength and functional performance in COPD patients, and test the effectiveness of vibration in improving lower extremity muscle strength, exercise tolerance, and COPD- related quality of life in COPD patients. Methods COPD patients will be recruited and randomly assigned to the control group, whole-body vibration training group, or local vibration training group. The study aims to confirm the rehabilitative benefits of enhancing lower limb muscle strength, exercise endurance, and the quality of life related to COPD in patients. Expected outcome To establish an optimal model for lower extremity vibration and to validate the effectiveness of direct vibration on the lower extremities and whole body vibration in COPD patients undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation. ;
