ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of Eight-Section Brocadeon improving extrapulmonary performance and lung function in elderly stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Methods A total of 120 elderly stable COPD patients were divided into experimental group and control group by random digits table method with 60 cases each. The experimental group received Eight-Section Brocade and the control group took a walk both based on the routine health education. The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF, 6 min walking test and lung function were conducted before and after intervention 12, 24 and 36 weeks. Results After intervention, the score of each field of WHOQOL-BREF were higher than those before intervention, comparison of two groups of physiological fields Ftime=57.112, Fgroup=10.510, Finteractive=13.653, all P<0.01; psychological field Ftime=240.209, Fgroup=6.201, Finteractive=6.902, all P<0.05;field of social relations Ftime=34.957, Fgroup=7.265, Finteractive=11.554, all P<0.01; environmentfield Ftime=66.431, Fgroup=8.197, Finteractive=18.413, all P<0.01, and there were significant differences in time, groups and interactive. Comparison of two groups of the result of 6 min walking test after intervention, Ftime=327.697, Fgroup=37.181, Finteractive=61.420, all P<0.01. Comparison of two groups of the result of lung function indexforced expiratory volume in one second, Fgroup=5.083, P<0.05, there was significant difference;after intervention the index of Forced expiratory volume in 1 second take up of the expected value, Fgroup=4.141, P<0.05, there was significant difference. Conclusions Eight-Section Brocade can effectively improve the elderly stable COPD patients with exercise endurance and quality of life, improve the extrapulmonary performance, delay the progressive decline of lung function.
