“…However, it has been suggested that objective measures of health status are often poor predictors of perceived health and well-being. 14,15 Furthermore, BMI seems to be an inadequate measure of adiposity in the SCI population. 2 Given these limitations, we also included a selfreport measure of overweight, whereby participants indicated whether they considered themselves to be overweight.…”

“…Indeed, earlier research has demonstrated that subjective measures of physical functioning and health are more accurate predictors of SWB outcomes compared to objective measures. 14,15 Thus, it was hypothesized that individuals who considered themselves overweight would have an increased prevalence of other secondary complications particularly pain, fatigue and overuse injuries.…”

Study design: This is a cross-sectional study. Objectives: To examine the associations between adiposity, secondary complications and subjective well-being (SWB) in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Results: Controlling for covariates, individuals who reported being overweight were more likely to have a history of overuse injuries and fatigue, experienced a greater impact of overuse injuries and fatigue, had greater pain and depressive symptoms, and had lower satisfaction with life than individuals who did not report being overweight. BMI was only associated with an increased likelihood of reporting spasticity. Conclusion: Self-reported overweight status was associated with an increased prevalence of certain secondary complications and lower SWB. Future prospective studies should examine whether reductions in adiposity are associated with changes in the prevalence and the impact of secondary complications and SWB.

“…these findings may be related to the fact that positive effects on quality of life derive from the global result of the pulmonary rehabilitation program and not from specific aspects of training 22,25 . particularly for the non-correlation between CRQ domains and the distance covered in the 6mwt, wijkstra et al 25 suggest that subjective parameters, such as quality of life, are not influenced by the tolerance to exercise.…”

“…other pulmonary rehabilitation protocols also found an improvement in Qol in asthmatic and Copd patients [20][21][22][23][24] . wijkstra et al 25 used the CRQ to investigate how a home exercise program could interfere in the quality of life of Copd patients. this program, that included twiceweekly 30-minute home exercises (total of 84 hours) and twice-weekly 30-minute sessions with the physical therapist (total of 24 hours) during three months, was able to improve its subjects' Qol.…”

Background: obstructive pulmonary diseases may interfere negatively with patients' quality of life (Qol). Specific Qol questionnaires such as the Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (CRQ) have been used to quantify the impact of the disease and measure the effects of different rehabilitation protocols. objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation performed once a week in association with exercises at home among patients with obstructive pulmonary disease, by means of CRQ comparisons, maximum respiratory pressures (mIp and mEp) and six-minute walking distance test (6mwd), before and after treatment. methods: this study was developed in the physical therapy outpatient clinic of the hospital. thirty-four patients of both sexes with obstructive pulmonary disease were evaluated, and nineteen (mean age: 60.8 ± 14.2 years) were included in the study. these subjects all underwent physiotherapeutic evaluation and reevaluation with the CRQ and measurements of mIp, mEp and 6mwd. the physical therapy consisted of respiratory, aerobic and resistance exercises once a week for 12 weeks, together with home exercises twice a week. Results: the wilcoxon test and Spearman correlation were used. Statistically significant differences between evaluations before and after rehabilitation were found for all CRQ domains (p≤ 0.05), mIp (p= 0.01) and mEp (p= 0.002). Conclusion: the proposed program improved Qol and promoted increases in maximum respiratory pressures among these patients with obstructive pulmonary disease, even though the current literature suggests that higher frequency of training is needed.

EinleitungChronische Atemwegserkrankungen stellen lang verlaufende Krankheitsprozesse dar, die in der Regel eine lebenslange Thera− pie erfordern. Die fachgerechte Versorgung der Patienten wird ± neben einer qualifizierten medikamentösen Therapie ± durch eine darüber hinausgehende langfristige Unterstützung und Be− treuung verbessert, die speziell auf die Charakteristika der jewei− ligen Atemwegserkrankung abgestimmt ist. In den letzten Jahren wurden neben den klassischen Verfahren der stationären Reha− AbstractIn Germany there is a long tradition of rehabilitation and exercise training programs to improve the clinical state and physical function of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary dis− eases. This is particularly true regarding inpatient rehabilitation. Based on experiences gained in other countries, outpatient and home−based programs are currently getting more attention. One of the key components of pulmonary rehabilitation is exercise training which can be expected to exert direct and indirect bene− ficial effects on physical performance, health−related quality of life and even the progress of the disease. Most of the available ex− perience refers to patients with COPD ± besides those with bron− chial asthma. The data available so far suggest that exercise training programs can reduce exacerbation rates and that this ef− fect is achievable by minimal personal assistance. Thus the most important aim of future studies seems to be the development and evaluation of training programs which are efficient but also easy to implement and minimally expensive. Furthermore it needs to be studied whether such programs can be transferred to pulmonary disorders other than obstructive airway diseases.
