NCT ID NCT07348003
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether single-limb resistance exercises can help people with COPD recover function and reduce symptoms during a flare-up. Thirty hospitalized patients will either do these exercises plus standard physiotherapy or standard physiotherapy alone for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if single-limb training is safer and more effective than traditional two-limb exercises for people with limited breathing capacity.
