| Primary outcome measures: 1.Difference in the mean COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scores in the intervention and control group at baseline and after 12 weeks of follow up. 2.Difference in the mean 6-min walk distance and 30-sec sit-to-stand test (30STS) in the two groups at baseline and after 12 weeks of follow up. 3.Difference in the mean FVC (Forced Vital Capacity), FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second) and FEV1/FVC values in the two groups at baseline and after 12 weeks of follow up. 4.Difference in mean quality of life scores, assessed by EuroQol-5D-3L (EQ-5D-3L), in the intervention and control groups at baseline and after 12 weeks of follow up. Timepoint: Primary outcomes of the intervention and control groups shall be assessed both at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention to evaluate the effectiveness of Pulmonary Tele-rehabilitation (PTR) in the management of COPD. | — |
