Abstract
Background: Skeletal muscle dysfunction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease deteriorate the symptoms and quality of life of patients. Exercise is a basic unit of Pulmonary rehabilitation causing improve muscle strength, exercise capacity, health status . patients are not able to perform exercise due to high levels of perceived dyspnea, fatigue, and fear of breathlessness. Whole-body vibration exercise have similar response produced by other modes of physical activity .this study aim to clarify the effect of Whole Body Vibration on exercise capacity and quality of life in COPD patients. Aim of the study: To determine the effect of Whole Body Vibration to traditional exercise protocol on exercise capacity and quality of life with COPD patients. Subject and procedures:30 male patients diagnosed as COPD stage I & II according to(GOLD 2018) ages from 45 to 60 years old selected from chest department in AL-Kasr Al Ainy hospital(out patients). Duration of the study was from September 2018 to March 2020 were assigned into two equal groups in number performed 3 session/week for 6 weeks .group (A) received Squat exercises program on Whole Body Vibration 5-10 minutes with six series of 30 s with 60 s of rest between each series, and frequency 24Hz in addition to traditional chest physiotherapy including Diaphragmtic breathing ,cycling ,strengthening for lower limbs while group (B) received the same training on the floor consisted of three sets with 3-min sessions of self {u2013}paced squats in addition to traditional chest physiotherapy before and after the 18th sessions the parameter of. Six minute walk distance test(6 MWDT), 5 Repetition sit to stand test( 5RSTS) and COPD assessment test (CAT) were also measured. Results: group (A) the results showed significant increases in 6MWDT, 5RSTS and CAT, 27.36%, 25.46%,36.67 % respectively &In group (B) showed significant increase 21.98 %, 18.6 %, 30.63 % respectively ,Comparing between the two groups there were significant differences in 6MWD and 5 RSTS ,while non significant difference in CAT Conclusion: Whole Body Vibration training was good complementary training exercise, which enhances exercise capacity and quality of life for COPD patients
