“…A significant increase was observed in the distance covered (375 to 420 meters). In another study, Fabrin et al 21 evaluated a COPD patient and found a significant improvement in the distance covered (345 to 490 meters) when the values of a 5-month pre-and postcardiopulmonary rehabilitation values were compared.…”

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a common preventable and treatable disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive and associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and the lung to noxious particles or gases. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a pulmonary rehabilitation program on respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity of individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. An elderly male patient participated in the pulmonary rehabilitation program and was evaluated before and after intervention. This program consisted of four phases: stretching, aerobic exercises, resistance training and relaxation. The physical activities were provided three times a week on alternate days, for 4 months, totaling 48 sessions. The results obtained after the rehabilitation program showed improvement in the physical functional capacity of the patient measured by the six-minute walk test (Pre=480; Post=540m). The maximal inspiratory pressure values increased (Pre=-60; Post=-120cmH 2 O) whereas the maximal expiratory pressure values remained the same (Pre=50; Post=50cmH 2 O). Therefore, the respiratory rehabilitation program has improved functional capacity and inspiratory muscle strength.
