Relationship between perceived and neuromuscular fatigue in COPD patients with chronic respiratory failure with long-term oxygen therapy: a cross-sectional study

The relationship between perceived and performance fatigability in severe fibrotic interstitial lung disease: a prospective, cross-sectional study

“…Paneroni and colleagues recently found a similar mismatch between trait level of perceived fatigability and performance fatigability on exercise in severe to end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [16] They, in fact, reported that FSS was inversely related to forced expiratory volume in 1 sec, that is, perceived fatigability was associated with the severity of airflow obstruction. Applying such reasoning, we found that FSS inversely correlated with forced vital capacity (r= -0.52; p=0.038), suggesting that greater perceived fatigability was associated with the severity of lung restriction in our sample.…”
