Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Increased muscular strength and endurance of upper limbs after the period of eight weeks of a low cost pulmonary rehabilitation program, verified through the unsupported upper limb exercise test and its modified version, in the pre and post intervention measurements.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The difference in number of repetitions observed in the sit and stand test in one minute and in 30 seconds after the period of eight weeks of a low cost rehabilitation program, from the increase of at least 2 repetitions after intervention.;The difference in walking time observed in the timed up and go test after eight week period of a low cost rehabilitation program, based on a reduction of at least 0.9 to 1.4 seconds after the intervention.;Change in dyspnea symptoms, presence and characteristics of secretion, cough, fever, upper airway infection, sleep quality, pain in upper and lower limbs, and muscle fatigue after a three month period of telemonitoring.;The difference in distance walked in the six minute walk test after eight week period of a low cost rehabilitation program from an increase of at least 25 to 33 meters after the intervention.;Difference in the time obtained in the endurance shuttle walking test after the eight week period of a low cost rehabilitation program from an increase of at least 174 to 279 seconds after the intervention.;The difference in the time obtained in the Glittre activity of daily living test after the eight week period of a low cost rehabilitation program from the finding of a decrease of at least 23 seconds after the intervention.;To evaluate observed changes in health-related quality of life using the saint george s respiratory questionnaire after an eight week period of a low cost rehabilitation program and after a three month period of telemonitoring.;To assess levels of anxiety and depression using the hospital anxiety and depression scale after an eight week period of a low cost rehabilitation program and after a three month period of telemonitoring.;Change in handgrip strength after an eight week period of a low cost rehabilitation program, assessed using a manual dynamometer from the mean of the three measurements taken on both limbs, with a rest time of 60 seconds between each one of them.;Cognitive function beyond that
