Part 1:<br>
Difference in 6-minute walking distance.

Part 2: <br>
Difference in total time to complete an outdoor course of about 1000m.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
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.
Doel van het onderzoek
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.
Onderzoeksopzet
Part 1+2.
Patients will be asked to walk twice on 2 consequetive days. The walking aids will be used in random order.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
Rollator versus new walking aid (a 'walk-bike').
