No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Although whole body vibration (WBV) is mainly designed to promote neuromuscular function, however, because of its vibration characteristics, whether it can provide additional effects on the sputum clearance for chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD) disease patients, thereby improving the quality of life, and exercise capacity is still unknown.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

A vertical vibration platform PowerVibe Zen Pro 5900

Subjects received the interventions twice a week for 8 weeks. HFCWO+WBVT group received additional 30 minutes WBVT treatment. In every WBVT session, three rounds of 3 minutes of vibration (amplitude: 2 mm; frequency: 20 Hz) were provided, with a 60-second rest between rounds.

DEVICE

HFCWO

Subjects received the interventions twice a week for 8 weeks. The HFCWO was delivered by a respiratory therapist using a percussive vest at 10-13 Hz oscillating frequency and at a pressure setting of 2 cm H2O. The treatment duration was 25 minutes, and the participants remained in a sitting position.
