Management / Interventions
[edit | edit source]

Exercise prescription is a key component of pulmonary rehabilitation programmes, which are part of the non-pharmacological approach to managing COPD. There is a high level of evidence for the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation for people with COPD[1] Strength and endurance exercise are endorsed for people with COPD[2]

Muscles that are required for arm exercise are also involved in movement of the chest wall during respiration and thus the need to breathe often compromises the individual’s ability to undertake daily activities, therefore exercise prescription  involving arm exercise needs to be carefully prescribed[3]
