Summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) patients could benefit from pulmonary rehabilitation(PR) in better managing of the disease and its symptoms and in avoiding future relapses and hospitalizations. However, due to a large number of drop outs from PR, lack of professionals, and the COVID-19 epidemic, the PR has been underutilized, leading to a need for investigation of updated forms. Music therapy, such as rhythm-guided endurance training, singing training, listening to melody, may be one such potential relevant and motivating rehabilitation activity. The study aims to investigate the effects of home-based PR program with a rhythm-guided endurance walking exercise and singing training on both physiological and psychological aspects. Effects will be investigated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 12-week intervention period.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Integrated training

For rhythm-guided walking exercise, the home exercise intensity, that is, the walking speed can be prescribed based on the incremental shuttle walking(ISWT) result. A rhythm matching with the walking speed can be calculated. Then patients will be provided a group of melodies identified by the calculated rhythm, which are also popular with the elder. During exercise, the patients are required to walking on a fixed speed identical with the rhythm. For singing training, patients follow the audios and videos to take training at home, which are recorded by singing teachers and physiotherapists prior to the trial. Each session includes technical instructions in order to achieve better respiratory control during singing.
