Endurance shuttle walking test: responsiveness to salmeterol in COPD.
Few studies have shown that the endurance shuttle walking test (ESWT) is responsive to treatment in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This exercise test needs to be further investigated because of its relevance for activity of daily living. The aim of the present study was to evaluate, in patients with COPD, the responsiveness of the ESWT in detecting improvement in wa...
متن کاملProspective validation of the endurance shuttle walking test in the context of bronchodilation in COPD.
This study focused on repeatability data and minimal important difference (MID) estimates of the endurance shuttle walking test (ESWT). 255 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients (forced expiratory volume in 1 s 54.7±13.2% predicted) completed four ESWTs at different times during the 8-week study: two under baseline conditions with tiotropium (1 week apart), one after a single dose and ...
متن کاملEffect of fluticasone propionate/salmeterol plus tiotropium versus tiotropium on walking endurance in COPD.
Exercise intolerance is a hallmark feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is associated with premature mortality [1]. Tiotropium (TIO) is effective in improving cycling exercise tolerance [2, 3] and walking endurance time in COPD [4]; these properties are thought to be associated with reductions in operating lung volume and the perception of dyspnoea during exercise [2, 3, ...
متن کاملTiotropium improves walking endurance in COPD.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a 3-week treatment with tiotropium on walking capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). After familiarisation with study procedures, 36 patients were randomised to receive tiotropium 18 μg once daily or a matching placebo in a double-blind, parallel-group study. Pre- (trough) and 2-h post-dose pulmonary function ...
متن کاملSignificance of changes in endurance shuttle walking performance.
BACKGROUND The endurance shuttle walking test (ESWT) has shown good responsiveness to interventions in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the minimal important difference (MID) for this test remains unknown, therefore limiting its interpretability. METHODS Patients with COPD who completed two or more ESWTs following pulmonary rehabilitation (n=132; forced exp...
