The Effects of Different Vibration Exercises on COPD Patients
The Effects of Different Vibration Exercises on the Strength of Lower Extremity Muscles, Exercise Endurance, and Quality of Life Among COPD Patients
Pulmonary rehabilitation is effective in improving exercise tolerance, dyspnea, and fatigue in patients with COPD, and exercise training is an important component of pulmonary rehabilitation. Vibration training can be used as a supplement or alternative to traditional exercise and is a short, safe rehabilitation training.
COPD patients will be recruited and randomly assigned to the control group, whole-body vibration training group, or local vibration training group. The study aims to confirm the rehabilitative benefits of enhancing lower limb muscle strength, exercise endurance, and the quality of life related to COPD in patients.

Detailed Description
Background Pulmonary rehabilitation is effective in improving exercise tolerance, dyspnea, and fatigue in patients with COPD, and exercise training is an important component of pulmonary rehabilitation. Vibration training can be used as a supplement or alternative to traditional exercise and is a short, safe rehabilitation training.
Purpose To enhance the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation, the vibration rehabilitation system will be applied on COPD patients to validate the effectiveness of direct and indirect vibration interventions on lower extremity muscle strength and functional performance in COPD patients, and test the effectiveness of vibration in improving lower extremity muscle strength, exercise tolerance, and COPD- related quality of life in COPD patients.
Methods COPD patients will be recruited and randomly assigned to the control group, whole-body vibration training group, or local vibration training group. The study aims to confirm the rehabilitative benefits of enhancing lower limb muscle strength, exercise endurance, and the quality of life related to COPD in patients.
Expected outcome To establish an optimal model for lower extremity vibration and to validate the effectiveness of direct vibration on the lower extremities and whole body vibration in COPD patients undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation.

---|---|
Sham Comparator: Control Group
|
Patients are instructed to perform squatting and standing exercises at home without vibration equipment.
Health education is provided at the time of enrollment, and patients are instructed to perform the exercises twice a week at home, with follow-up via telephone to check compliance.
Each session consists of 10 minutes of warm-up exercises for the upper limbs, lower limbs, and spine, six sets of squatting and standing exercises, and a final 10-minute stretching exercise.
Each session includes six series, each lasting 2 minutes, with a 60-second rest interval between series.
After the warm-up exercises, participants should hold onto large household furniture or walls and squat and stand at a steady pace until the two minutes are up.
|
Experimental: Whole-body Vibration Training Group
|
Each session consists of 10 minutes of warm-up exercises for the upper limbs, lower limbs, and spine, six sets of vibration training, and 10 minutes of stretching exercises at the end.
Each session includes six series, each lasting 2 minutes, with a frequency of 35 Hz and an amplitude of 2 mm, with a 60-second rest interval between series.
For the starting position, the patient stands relaxed on the platform, holding the WBV platform handles.
After vibration starts, the patient squat and stand at a steady pace until the two minutes are over.
|
Experimental: Local Vibration Training Group
|
Each session consists of 10 minutes of warm-up exercises for the upper limbs, lower limbs, and spine, six sets of vibration training, and a final 10-minute stretching exercise.
Each session includes six series, each lasting 2 minutes, with a frequency of 35 Hz and an amplitude of 2 mm, with a 60-second rest interval between series.
After the warm-up exercise, the researcher helps the patient wear the localized vibration instrument.
After the vibration begins, the patient squat and stand at a steady pace until the two minutes are over.
