Details and patient eligibility

About

The investigators designed the current study with the main objective of determining whether Whole Body Vibration Training (WBVT) alone improves muscular force and/or modifies the functional capacity parameters in severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients referred to a rehabilitation programme.

Enrollment

60 patients

Sex

Male

Ages

55 to 85 years old

Volunteers

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

  • severe COPD defined as a post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1)/ forced vital capacity (FVC) < 0.7 and FEV1 < 50% predicted,
  • stable disease defined as no exacerbation,
  • hospital admission or change in treatment in the previous 3 months.

Exclusion criteria

  • other significant respiratory disease (bronchiectasis,
  • lung fibrosis, asthma, etc),
  • active smoking,
  • severe cardiovascular,
  • neurological, and/or metabolic pathology that could interfere with the results,
  • total hip, knee or ankle arthroplasty,
  • previous vitreous haemorrhage,
  • severe alcoholism (> 80 g/day) and
  • severe malnutrition (BMI < 19 Kg/m2) to reduce the risk of falling and dropouts.
