Article Synopsis
- A study involving 43 patients with moderate to severe COPD assessed the effects of combining tiotropium bromide (TB) with an eight-week pulmonary rehabilitation program.
- The combination treatment improved physical activity tolerance, as measured by whole-body rheography and functional tests, and significantly reduced symptoms like dyspnea compared to pulmonary rehabilitation alone.
- The findings suggest that using TB alongside pulmonary rehabilitation is an effective strategy for managing COPD, with whole-body rheography serving as a useful evaluation method for patient progress.
