Effects of core training based on respiratory therapy on elderly stable COPD patients in the rehabilitation hospital: a study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Elderly stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients frequently experience walking dysfunction. Research indicates that balance training holds promise for enhancing walking stability in these individuals, whereas respiratory therapy (RT) can enhance walking endurance effectively. However, existing balance training regimens tailored for COPD are intricate and lack specificity, and the impact of combined RT on patients' walking function remains uncertain. This study aims to assess the influence of core training (CT) integrated with RT on walking function among elderly stable COPD patients.

Methods and analysis

This randomised, assessment-blinded, routine rehabilitation-controlled trial will be carried out at the Department of Respiratory and Critic
