Interventions
The control group consisted of 30 participants who were submitted to the institution's standard physiotherapeutic treatment for patients with exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. In
(B) metabolic exercises performed by active mobilization of upper limbs and lower limbs (three sets consisting of ten repetitions for each limb)
(C) walking, lasting for five minutes, performed in the corridors of the hospital.

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients hospitalized for clinical criteria for exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease; patients who received physical therapy prescription on the first day of hospitalization.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Inpatients in the intensive care unit; non-collaborative patients who were unable to perform respiratory evaluation methods through manovacuometry, microspirometry, and expiratory Flow Peak instruments; those who reported previous thoracic surgery or who presented with chest deformities, or any complications that made kinesio taping difficult to use; those who reported allergic skin reactions with the use of plaster, micropore or other adhesive material.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The maximal inspiratory pressure and maximum expiratory pressure, verified through the manovacuometry, were determined based on the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre and post intervention measurements. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluation of the forced expiratory volume in the first second and the peak of expiratory flow verified by the digital device Picorafad PF 200, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre and post intervention measurements.;The assessment of the oxygen saturation verified by the portable pulse oximeter, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre and post intervention measurements. | — |
