  2. COPD • COPD is a treatable disease which is almost irreversible and with progressive airway limitation characterized systemic consequences.

  3. SYSTEMİC EFFECTS • Weight loss • Skeletal muscle dysfunction • Cardiovascular diseases • Others • Osteoporosis • Depression and fatigue • Cancer

  4. Muscle dysfunction Peripheral Muscle dysfunction

  5. Changes in muscle Type 1 Type 2a Type2b Capillary density Oxidative capacity Strength and Endurance

  6. Daily Life Activities • Indirect participation to respiration • Ventilation • Oxygen expanditure

  7. Aim To evaluate the relationship between Upper limb muscle strength and • Respiratory functions • Exercise capacity • Quality of life • Dyspnea

  8. Material and Methods-I • Tensiometer • Manuel muscle test • Computerised methods • Dinamometre -Handgrip • 1 repetation of maximum (1 RM) Muscle strength assesment methods

  9. Material and Methods-II • Measurement ofdyspnea; -Medical Research Council (MRC) • Health releated quality of life - St. George Respiratory Questionary (SGRQ)

  10. Material and Methods-III • Exercise capacity • - Incremental Shuttle Walking Test • (ISWT) • - Endurance Shuttle Walking Test • (ESWT)

  11. Demographics

  12. Baseline Parameters-I

  13. Baseline Parameters-II

  14. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN UPPER LIMB MUSCLE STRENGTH AND RESPIRATORY FUNCTIONS • EXERCISE CAPACITY, QUALITY OF LIFE • DYSPNEA

  15. Results;

  16. Relationship of upper-limb and thoracic muscle strength to 6-min walk distance in COPD patientsChest 2006;129;551-557 CONCLUSION; Upper limb muscle strength and exercise capacity • Peripheral muscle weakness contributes to exercise limitation in COPD • Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med., Vol 153, No. 3, Mar 1996, 976-980

  17. Upper limb muscle strength and respiratory function Chest 2005;125:1225-32 Relationship between pulmonary function and unsupported arm exercise in patients with COPD. Monaldi Arch Chest Dis. 2001 Aug;56(4):309-14 Upper extremity muscle strength correlated with IC, FRC, MIP

  18. Upper limb muscle strength and quality of life • Peripheral muscle strength in stable COPD patients: correlation with respiratory function variables and quality of life Arch Bronconeumol. 1999 Mar;35(3):117-21 • Quality of life in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: correlation with lung and muscle function. Respir Med. 1998 Feb;92(2):221-7

  19. Upper extremity exercise training is important in PULMONARY REHABILITATION EXERCISE PROGRAMS • Arm exercises results increase in dynamic hyperinflation which directly correlated with increases in dyspnea,arm effort and VO2. • The arm training programme resulted in the following • increase in exercise capacity at peak exercise • decrease in both ventilation and dynamic hyperinflation, • decrease in dyspnea and arm effort
