Description
Summary:The purpose of the study was the assessment of the proposed physical therapy on physical capacity of pa- tients having severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). One hundred and twenty-four (124) pa- tients having severe COPD were examined. All patients underwent standard clinical, laboratory and functional examination. Physical capacity of patients was assessed by the 6-minutes walking distance (6MWD). Application of physical therapy with patients having COPD resulted in a statistically significant greater dynamics of growth of the distance traveled at 6 MWD with both men - by 104.66-9.24 m (at standard treatment - by 57.07-8.99 m; p
