Relationship of upper-limb and thoracic muscle strength to 6-min walk distance in COPD patients.
STUDY OBJECTIVES This study was developed to investigate the influence of thoracic and upper-limb muscle function on 6-min walk distance (6MWD) in patients with COPD. DESIGN A prospective, cross-sectional study. SETTING The pulmonary rehabilitation center of a university hospital. PATIENTS Thirty-eight patients with mild to very severe COPD were evaluated. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Pulmo...
متن کاملthe effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends
flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...

متن کاملThe 6-min walk test in patients with COPD: walk this way!
As the co-chairs of the joint American Thoracic Society/European Thoracic Society (ATS/ERS) task force on field exercise testing we noted with interest the work by Beekman et al, who describe reference values for a 6-min walk test (6MWT) performed around a 10 m course. These authors have previously shown that walk distances on this track provoke a significantly shorter distance than on the cour...
متن کاملThe 6-min walk distance: change over time and value as a predictor of survival in severe COPD.
The 6-min walk distance (6MWD) is used to evaluate the functional capacity of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The change in 6MWD over time and its correlation with changes in spirometry and survival are unclear. Patients (n=198) with severe COPD and 41 age-matched controls were followed for 2 yrs, and anthropometrics, spirometry, 6MWD and comorbidities were measured....
