Effects of low-intensity exercise and home-based pulmonary rehabilitation with pedometer feedback on physical activity in elderly patients with COPD

The impact of wearable motion sensing technology on physical activity in older adults

“…Following title and abstract screening, 34 articles were eligible for full text review. A total of nine articles met study eligibility criteria and were analyzed quantitatively (n=8) or qualitatively (n=1)(Butler et al, 2009b; Cadmus-Bertram et al, 2015; Croteau et al, 2007; Kawagoshi, Kiyokawa, Sugawara, et al, 2015; Koizumi et al, 2009; McMurdo et al, 2010; Nicklas et al, 2014; Thompson et al, 2014; Wijsman et al, 2013). Details about how studies were chosen for this systematic review can be seen in Figure 1.…”

Behavioural modification interventions alongside pulmonary rehabilitation improve COPD patients’ experiences of physical activity

“…PA behavioural modification interventions have been employed to address the complex behaviour of PA, with the majority of previous studies demonstrating promising results in patients with COPD [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. This is accomplished by stimulating patients to increase their PA levels by incorporating lifestyle activities into daily life in conjunction with patient monitoring and feedback of their daily steps alongside frequently adjusted goal setting [17].…”
