Summary

The purpose of this study is to test whether breathing control exercises embedded in occupational therapy sessions have an impact on quality of life and dyspnea in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Conditions

  • Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Occupational Therapy

Standard occupational therapy sessions include patient therapeutic education (implementation of strategies and/or technical aids promoting autonomy and independence), walking and stair exercises in real-life conditions (weighted shopping bag, unstable ground, ...), as well as work on activities of daily living aiming to improve toileting skills (includes individual assessment, the use of technical aids depending of this assessment, and personalised strategies to conserve energy).

BEHAVIORAL

Occupational Therapy with Breathing Control Exercises

Includes the same treatment than the one described in standard occupation therapy but with the addition of 30-minute sessions per day on breathing control exercises. These exercises included the reproduction of gestures reproducing daily activities and simultaneous explanations of breathing techniques that the patient can perform in order to set up strategies for saving breath during exercise.
