Does a 6-week programme of online-supported pulmonary rehabilitation improve 6MWT distance and symptom scores in patients with COPD with functional limitation compared to face-to-face sessions?
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with functional limitation
6-week programme of online-supported pulmonary rehabilitation (PR)
Conventional model of pulmonary rehabilitation delivered in face-to-face sessions
6-minute walk test (6MWT) distance and symptom scoressurrogate
Online-supported pulmonary rehabilitation is a safe, well-tolerated, and non-inferior alternative to conventional face-to-face sessions for improving functional capacity and symptoms in COPD patients.
PR is an evidenced-based and guideline-mandated intervention for patients with COPD with functional limitation. A 6-week programme of online-supported PR was non-inferior to a conventional model delivered in face-to-face sessions in terms of effects on 6MWT distance, and symptom scores and was safe and well tolerated.
