ABSTRACT
The Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) has been described as an alternative therapeutic resource for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) with similarity to the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program (PRP). The aim of the study was to compare PRP to WBV on functional capacity and quality of life in patients with COPD. Twenty individuals with COPD were assigned to PRP and WBV, who were evaluated regarding their lung function, functional capacity and quality of life through spirometry, 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), respectively. The main results for the WBV group were, there were improvements in the walked distance on the 6MWT and in the symptoms and total domains of the SGRQ. For the PRP group, we observed improvement in the activity, impact and total domains of SGRQ. We could conclude that the WBV group increased the walked distance in regard to the PRP group and both programs improved the quality of life
