Article Synopsis
- The study explored how chest wall mobilization affects exercise capacity and respiratory muscle function in men with severe COPD.
- Participants (30 males, average age 75) were divided into a chest wall mobilization group and a control group, both receiving exercise education, but only the CWMG received additional mobilization treatments.
- Results showed that the CWMG had significantly improved exercise tolerance, reduced muscle activity during tests, and maintained these benefits three months after the program, highlighting the potential advantages of chest wall mobilization in COPD rehabilitation.
Purpose: The long-term and specific impacts on the physical and mental health for Chinese people with major depressive disorders (MDD) are not well-studied. The aim of the study is to investigate both short-and long-term effects of a structured physical rehabilitation program on the physical and mental health and pain for Chinese patients with MDD.
Methods: 84 Chinese patients with MDD were randomized to intervention ( = 42) or control group ( = 42).
