Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Increasing the distance covered by the test decaminhada 6 minutes. Improved quality of life questionnaire through Saint George, where the lower the value obtained, the lower the impact of disease on quality of life. Expected to lower scores after the intervention. Increased capacity to develop the activities of daily living, using the questionnaire of activities of daily living London Chest, whose scale is divided into four areas: personal care, home care, physical activity and leisure. The total score is the sum of all domains. It is expected highest scores after the intervention. Increase in peripheral muscle strength, assessed by evaluating the handgrip and repetition maximum for the dominant leg. Reduction in mortality score by analyzing the BODE index, used as an indirect predictor of death risk. Four factors are used to calculate it: body mass index, degree of airway obstruction, dyspnea and exercise capacity measured by testing 6-minute walk. High levels are associated with an increased risk of death. It is expected then low rates after the intervention. Decreased sensation of dyspnea, measured during the test 6-minute walk through the modified Borg scale ranging from 0 to 10 points, and the patient who chooses the intensity of dyspnea and degree of muscular discomfort consistent with the time. Expected to be found after the intervention values ??less | — |
