| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study examined respiratory function, physical function, physical ability, psychological function, and social background in patients with specific exercise tolerance; as well as the effects of a 3-month respiratory rehabilitation（RR） program for such patients.
The subjects were 235(COPD) patients in stable condition. Patients with 6MWD(350 m) and %FEV1.0(50%) were defined as the SH group, H group, L group, SL group.The SH group demonstrated significantly higher respiratory function, physical function, and physical ability on several indicators than did the L group and the SL group. Following the 3-month RR program, the SH group demonstrated significant improvement in the mMRC, maximum gait speed, and 6MWD.
Regardless of deteriorating respiratory function (advanced COPD), SH patients possessed high respiratory function, physical function, and physical ability.
