Summary

Pulmonary rehabilitation is effective in improving exercise tolerance, dyspnea, and fatigue in patients with COPD, and exercise training is an important component of pulmonary rehabilitation. Vibration training can be used as a supplement or alternative to traditional exercise and is a short, safe rehabilitation training.

COPD patients will be recruited and randomly assigned to the control group, whole-body vibration training group, or local vibration training group. The study aims to confirm the rehabilitative benefits of enhancing lower limb muscle strength, exercise endurance, and the quality of life related to COPD in patients.

Conditions

  • COPD
  • COPD Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
  • Vibration Therapy

Interventions

DEVICE

Whole-body Vibration Therapy

Each session includes six series, each lasting 2 minutes, with a frequency of 35 Hz and an amplitude of 2 mm, with a 60-second rest interval between series. For the starting position, the patient stands relaxed on the platform, holding the WBV platform handles.

DEVICE

Local Vibration Therapy

Each session includes six series, each lasting 2 minutes, with a frequency of 35 Hz and an amplitude of 2 mm, with a 60-second rest interval between series. After the warm-up exercise, the researcher helps the patient wear the localized vibration instrument. During the vibration, participants will hold onto the handle to ensure balance stability.
