“…In our study, 14 patients were not able to perform a single rising when tested with 30sCST but managed to perform at 6MWT. It is known that patients with COPD change their gait biomechanics due to the effect of skeletal muscle dysfunction on the thigh muscle, 25 , 26 which could explain why the patients managed to walk but not rise from a sitting position. At the 6MWT, patients were allowed to use a walking aid which might add to the explanation of why they could perform at the 6MWT but not rise from a sitting position.…”

“…The number of participants ranged from 7 [24] to 1202 [25,26] with a median of 34. The median age for COPD patients was 68 years with a median forced expiratory volume in one second of 50 percent of the predicted value.…”

“…Revisões sistemáticas e triagens clínicas agrupadas por Roing et al [9] e por Kim, Mofarrahi e Hussain [26] demonstram que a força e resistência muscular de indivíduos com DPOC é menor quando comparada a pessoas saudáveis, principalmente dos músculos da coxa, e este fato está relacionado diretamente as articulações do quadril e do joelho. Esses fatores acabam interferindo na mobilidade desses indivíduos, de acordo com os dados obtidos no estudo de Yentes et al [27], no qual analisaram os efeitos de um treinamento de seis semanas de duração, de duas a três vezes por semana, com meia hora de exercícios cardiorrespiratórios e meia hora de exercícios de força para os principais grupos musculares na marcha de pacientes DPOC (n = 14) com média de idade de 62,75 anos. Esta análise da marcha demonstrou resultados similares ao presente estudo quanto aos dados angulares das articulações do quadril e joelho, com valores próximos para flexão de quadril e extensão de joelho.…”

“…De acordo com Roing et al [9], Beauchamp, Brooks & Goldstein [18] e Yentes et al [27], a avaliação da marcha de indivíduos com patologias crônicas, como a DPOC, e idosos é de extrema importância na clínica destes pacientes, pois o grande número de quedas desta população está relacionado a déficits na marcha e a diminuição da força muscular em membros inferiores. Em um estudo realizado por Pitta et al [8], observou-se que indivíduos com DPOC passam a maior parte de seu tempo nas posições sentado ou deitados, devido a fatores como, por exemplo, a redução de força muscular, do consumo de oxigênio e dos volumes pulmonares.…”
