Brief summary

To associate a lean mass, peripheral muscle strength, kinematic thoracic-abdominal, respiratory metabolic response, mobility and diaphragmatic thickness, verifying its relation with the obstruction level of COPD

Detailed description

Individuals with COPD present restriction in their daily lives due to changes and bodily disorders promoted by the disease, such as changes in types of muscle fibers and chronic inflammatory process, causing a low level of physical activity and quality of life, besides being closely Related to the need for hospitalizations and increased mortality. A cross-sectional study with a convenience sample was performed at the Laboratory of Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy of the Federal University of Pernambuco during the period from December 2016 to February 2018. As measurements of body composition were performed with a bio-balance scale, Evaluation of the peripheral muscle strength will be used the dynamometer, a load cell and electromyography, a kinematic thoracic-abdominal will be measured by optoelectronic plethysmography, a respiratory metabolic response will be verified during the 6-minute walk test using the gas analyzer, and for evaluation of mobility and diaphragmatic thickness are used on ultrasound associated with pneumotachograph.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Fat-free massBaselineMass of the human body disregarding fat.
Quadriceps ForceBaselineQuadriceps muscle strength measured during maximum voluntary contraction.
Handgrip strengthBaselineMaximum voluntary manual holding force.
Total chest wall volumeBaselineTotal volume resulting from the sum of the volume of the pulmonary compartment of the costal, abdominal gradient of the costal and abdominal beds.
Oxygen uptakeBaselineConsumption of oxygen during an effort.
Diaphragm mobilityBaselineIt is the diaphragmatic movement from the end of the expiration until the end of the inspiration, being able to be realized in tidal volume or starting from the total pulmonary capacity.
Diaphragm thicknessBaselineDefined as a corpulence of the diaphragm muscle
