Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous lung condition, yielding various respiratory symptoms and categorized under several descriptors: early, mild, young, pre-COPD, and preserved ratio impaired spirometry. COPD is synonymous with symptoms such as dyspnea and cough, in addition to others like exercise intolerance, which result from respiratory muscle weakness. Therefore, the emergence of respiratory strength assessment tools for such patients is not surprising. However, evidence is limited regarding the impact of respiratory muscle strength on the physical performance of COPD patients. Therefore, this study employs the MicroRPM device (Medikart HealthCare Systems Pvt. Ltd., Delhi, India) to measure maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure utilizing mouth pressure. Methodology We recruited a total of 40 patients for the study. All patients received a thorough assessment for hemodynamic stability and were categorized according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease criteria of COPD. The patients then underwent a training session for the MicroRPM device. We took each patient’s inspiratory and expiratory pressure measurements, then determined their six-minute walk distance and modified the Borg scale rating. Results We observed no significant correlation between maximum inspiratory pressure (Pimax) and six-minute walk distance (r=−0.023, p=0.890) or modified Borg scale (r=−0.044, p=0.788); additionally, the correlation between maximum expiratory pressure (Pemax) and modified Borg scale was not significant (r=−0.192, p=0.235). However, the correlation between Pemax and six-minute walk distance was both negative and significant (r=−0.384, p=0.014). Conclusion Based on our results, respiratory muscle strength can influence the aerobic performance of COPD patients.

“…The tests were chosen as they were felt to represent a spectrum of user‐friendliness for PH patients, with previous work demonstrating that patients felt they were feasible to perform at home 17 . Previous studies have demonstrated the clinimetric properties, including the test retest reliability, of these four tests 9,10,19–21 . The T6MWT employed a smartphone application ( Timed Walk) available for free on the iOS App Store and Android Play Store which has been previously validated in healthy and PAH populations 9,10 .…”

Remote exercise tests for patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) would improve the telemedicine strategies in this disease. The PHRET study assessed the validity and feasibility of four remote exercise tests performed by PH patients at home. Participants undergoing diagnostic assessment for PH were included. At baseline, patients completed a 6MWT followed by a range of study tests including a Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, a Sit‐to‐Stand (STS), a Step Test (ST), and a tele‐6MWT (T6MWT) performed outside using a GPS‐enabled smartphone. Patients performed these tests at home following discharge and at first follow‐up. Analysis focused on comparing the results of study tests to the standard 6MWT. The discontinuation rate was 15%. Ninety‐seven percent of patients were able to complete a TUG, 92% a STS, 73% a ST, and 49% a T6MWT. At baseline, correlation between the standard 6MWT and study tests, respectively, was T6MWT 0.93, ST 0.78, STS 0.71, and TUG −0.76 (p < 0.001). Direction of change in the study test agreed with the standard 6MWT in 68% of the follow‐up ST, 68% of the STS, 71% of the TUG, and 79% of the T6MWT. Patients were able to complete the tests at home, there were no adverse incidents and ≥92% of patients were happy to continue performing home tests. Remote exercise testing is feasible. The T6MWT was a valid remote measure of exercise capacity, but could only be performed by a limited number of patients. The high discontinuation rate may impact the utility of remote tests.

Purpose of review Skeletal muscle weakness and wasting also occurs in the respiratory muscles, called respiratory sarcopenia. Respiratory sarcopenia may lead to worse clinical indicators and outcomes. We present a novel definition and diagnostic criteria for respiratory sarcopenia, summarize recent reports on the association between respiratory sarcopenia, physical and nutritional status, and clinical outcomes, and provide suggestions for the prevention and treatment of respiratory sarcopenia. Recent findings Recently, a novel definition and diagnostic criteria for respiratory sarcopenia have been prepared. Respiratory sarcopenia is defined as a condition in which there is both low respiratory muscle strength and low respiratory muscle mass. Respiratory muscle strength, respiratory muscle mass, and appendicular skeletal muscle mass are used to diagnose respiratory sarcopenia. Currently, it is challenging to definitively diagnose respiratory sarcopenia due to the difficulty in accurately determining low respiratory muscle mass. Decreased respiratory muscle strength and respiratory muscle mass are associated with lower physical and nutritional status and poorer clinical outcomes. Exercise interventions, especially respiratory muscle training, nutritional interventions, and their combinations may effectively treat respiratory sarcopenia. Preventive interventions for respiratory sarcopenia are unclear. Summary The novel definition and diagnostic criteria will contribute to promoting the assessment and intervention of respiratory sarcopenia.
