Brief summary
Patients who are suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) had a decreased level of physical activity which is consequentially related to another acute exacerbation event. In this study, we selected patients from those who were admitted for acute exacerbation of COPD, evaluated physical activity by accelerometer (wearable multisensory armband devices) to find out the correlation between physical activity in COPD acute exacerbation patients.
