Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, reliability, and construct validity of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale.

59 patients were included (61% with COPD and 39% with ILD). BPNES factor scores were not significantly different between raters' assessments ( > 0.05).

Reliability and validity of the Glittre-ADL test to assess the functional status of patients with interstitial lung disease.

The study objective was to investigated the reliability and validity of the ADL-Glittre test (TGlittre) to assess the functional status of patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Twenty-one individuals with ILD participated (age: 63 ± 11 years; DLCO: 51.0 ± 12.

Baseline characteristics associated to improvement of patients with COPD in physical activity in daily life level after pulmonary rehabilitation.

Background: Knowing the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that increase the physical activity of daily living (PADL) after pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a challenge.

Aims: to compare baseline characteristics between patients who achieved and failed to achieve the minimal important difference (MID) of PADL post-PR; to verify which baseline variables better predict the change and identify a cut-off point to discriminate MID achievers.

Methods: Fifty-three patients with COPD (FEV: 38.

The London Chest Activity of Daily Living scale cut-off point to discriminate functional status in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Objective: To determine the cut-off point for the London Chest Activity of Daily Living scale in order to better discriminate functional status. Secondarily, to determine which of the scores (total or %total) is better associated with clinical outcomes of a pulmonary rehabilitation program.

Methods: Sixty-one patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease performed the following tests: spirometry; Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment Test; Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire; modified Medical Research Council, the body-mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity index; six-minute walk test; physical activity in daily life assessment and London Chest Activity of Daily Living scale.
