“…This clinical efficacy is similar to that of most hospital-based supervised programmes [4,10,57]. The good adherence in the cell phone group can be attributed to the user-friendly software and accurate walking speed for patients to follow [58]. Since the software is compatible with most commercial cell phones and the data are transmitted via GPRS, the monthly cost for each patient to use such a service in Taiwan is ,US$10.…”

The application of a supervised endurance exercise training programme in a home setting offering convenience and prolonged effects is a challenge.In total, 48 patients were initially assessed by the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT), spirometry and the Short Form-12 (SF-12) quality-of-life questionnaire, and then every 4 weeks for 3 months thereafter and again after 1 yr. During the first 3 months, 24 patients in the cell phone group were asked to perform daily endurance walking at 80% of their maximal capacity by following the tempo of music from a program installed on a cell phone. The level of endurance walking at home was readjusted monthly according to the result of ISWT. In the control group, 24 patients received the same protocol and were verbally asked to take daily walking exercise at home.Patients in the cell phone group significantly improved their ISWT distance and duration of endurance walking after 8 weeks. The improvements in ISWT distance, inspiratory capacity and SF-12 scoring at 12 weeks persisted until the end of the study, with less acute exacerbations and hospitalisations.In the present pilot study, the cell phone-based system provides an efficient, home endurance exercise training programme with good compliance and clinical outcomes in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

“…Second, patients who are being referred for prehabilitation should be given oral and written information about what this will entail and the potential benefits. Experience from pulmonary rehabilitation indicates that the uptake and effects of prehabilitation may be positively influenced by the initial clinician interaction and by what information is provided about the programme [23][24][25]. Initial discussions with the patient should also seek to identify their goals for prehabilitation, which should then be recorded, and may aid Figure 1 The prehabilitation concept.…”

Clinical guideline and recommendations on pre‐operative exercise training in patients awaiting major non‐cardiac surgery

SummaryDespite calls for the routine implementation of pre-operative exercise programmes to optimise patient fitness before elective major surgery, there is no practical guidance for providing safe and effective exercise in this specific context. The following clinical guideline was developed following a review of the evidence on the effects of pre-operative exercise interventions. We developed a series of best-practice and, where possible, evidence-based statements to advise on patient care with respect to exercise training in the peri-operative period. These statements cover: patient selection for exercise training in surgical patients; integration of exercise training into multi-modal prehabilitation programmes; and advice on exercise prescription factors and follow-up. Although we acknowledge that further research is needed to identify the optimal exercise prescription in different clinical scenarios, we urge peri-operative teams to make use of these recommendations. Summary of key recommendations1 Pre-operative exercise training should be offered to patients scheduled for major or complex elective surgery with a view to improving their physical fitness and health status and reducing the risk of peri-operative morbidity and mortality. If resources are limited, priority of referral to preoperative exercise training should go to patients who are at increased risk of peri-operative complications, such as those with low cardiorespiratory fitness.2 Pre-operative exercise training should be offered as part of a multi-modal prehabilitation programme that addresses a variety of peri-operative risk factors including cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and anaemia. 3 Healthcare professionals making referrals to a preoperative exercise programme should have basic knowledge about what the programme entails and its potential effects. A pre-operative exercise programme should be presented to the patient by the referring clinician as a fundamental part of their 750

[40][41][42] Helplessness may also amplify perceived disease severity, thereby contributing to patients' belief that their COPD prevents them from complying with exercise regimens prescribed during rehabilitation. Our fi nding that the CHI is prospectively associated with COPD-related emergency health-care uses suggests that helplessness may contribute to exacerbations and other adverse COPD events.…”
