“…Specifically, we observed a strong effect on 6MWD, which increased by 95.55 ± 76.29 m. The magnitude of the 6WMD improvement was comparable to that described by Pleguezuelos et al (81.2 m) in the stable phase of the disease [27]. Interestingly, 19/20 patients in WBV group (compared to 9/19 in the control group) improved 6MWD by more than 35 m, which is considered as a minimal clinical important difference (MCID) [30].…”

“…To date, trials regarding efficacy of WBV in patients with COPD are scarce. Results from two studies investigating the effects of WBV therapy in patients with stable COPD showed a significantly greater improvement in the 6MWT, and a significant decrease in maximum oxygen desaturation during the 6-MWT than compared to patients in control group [6,27].…”

Background: Patients with stable COPD show improvements in exercise capacity and muscular function after the application of whole body vibration. We aimed to evaluate whether this modality added to conventional physiotherapy in exacerbated hospitalised COPD patients would be safe and would improve exercise capacity and quality of life. Methods: 49 hospitalised exacerbated COPD patients were randomized (1:1) to undergo physiotherapy alone or physiotherapy with the addition of whole body vibration. The primary endpoint was the between-group difference of the 6-minute walking test (day of discharge -day of admission). Secondary assessments included chair rising test, quality of life, and serum marker analysis.

Whole body vibration training in patients with COPD

In recent years, several studies have shown that whole body vibration training (WBVT) may be a beneficial training mode in a variety of chronic diseases and conditions such as osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, or chronic low back pain. However, a systematic review on the effects of WBVT in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has not been performed yet. An extensive literature search was performed using various electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, LILACS, and PEDro). They were searched from inception until September 20, 2014, using key words like “COPD” and “whole body vibration training.” A total of 91 studies could be identified and were screened for relevance by two independent reviewers. Six studies were included in a qualitative analysis. Trials studied either the effects of WBVT versus an inactive control group, versus sham WBVT, during an acute COPD exacerbation or as a modality on top of conventional endurance and strength training. All randomized trials reported a significantly superior benefit on exercise capacity (6-minute walking distance) in favor of the WBVT group. Although there are only few studies available, there is some preliminary evidence that WBVT may be an effective exercise modality to improve functional exercise capacity in patients with COPD.

“…It is an efficacious mode of exercise training in patients with COPD that improves exercise capacity and lower limbs functional performance (23)(24)(25). WBVT is also associated with increased irisin levels as marker of muscle activity in COPD and may improve health-related QoL (26).…”

ERS International Congress 2017: a peek of outstanding abstracts from the clinical assembly

This review highlights a selection of abstracts from the 2017 ERS International Congress in Milan presented by the clinical assembly's groups of interventional pulmonology, general practice and primary care and rehabilitation and chronic care. Attention is brought to the increasing burden of disease of COPD and end-stage emphysema patients in China. The considerable efforts of Chinese pulmonary centers to conduct multicenter, randomized and controlled trials, investigating the possibilities of bronchoscopic lung volume reduction is underlined in the review. Furthermore, the key objectives of asthma management are stressed. We point out presentations emphasizing on achieving good control of daily symptoms and reducing the risk of asthma exacerbations. The findings of a randomized clinical trial evaluating the role of oxygen supplementation in rehabilitation therapy of COPD patients are analyzed. Additionally, another randomized clinical trial researching the influence of whole body vibration training (WBVT) in long-term (>1 year) lung transplant patients are discussed.
