Differences in sperceived symptoms, number of stops, stride length, stride frequency, number of strides, oxygen consumption, ventilation, heart rate and oxygen saturation.
Part 2.
Differences in perceived symptoms, number of stops, stride length, stride frequency, number of strides, heart rate and oxygen saturation.
Background summary
Patients with COPD generally suffer from a limited functional mobility. An improved mobility has been found following the use of a rollator. Nevertheless, we hypothesize that a new walking aid may even be more effective to improve functional mobility by partially unloading the lower limbs by sitting on a 'bike seat'. Nevertheless, this has never been studied.
Study objective
Part 1:
Previously, the use of a rollator has been shown to improve functional mobility in patients with COPD. We hypothesize that a new walking aid will result in a larger improvement in 6-minute walking distance as compared to the rollator.
Part 2:
We hypothesize that COPD patients may also improve their functional mobility on an outdoor course of about 1000m by using the new walking aid as compared to a rollator.
Study design
Part 1+2.
Patients will be asked to walk twice on 2 consequetive days. The walking aids will be used in random order.
Intervention
Rollator versus new walking aid (a 'walk-bike').
