“…The strength of this review is that it compiles, in a systematic manner, information on the predictive validity of simple measures of physical function and muscle strength in relation to exacerbation, hospitalization and mortality in individuals with COPD. Previous reviews had focused on the clinical value and psychometric properties of these tests [8,9,11] but to the best of our knowledge, no review had compiled information on the prognostic value of these tests.…”

“…In recent years, there has been an increased interest in simple measures of physical function and muscle strength that can be used in all clinical settings to assess individuals with COPD and predict their prognosis [8,9]. These "simpler" tests require less time for the professional and patient to conduct; some require less space; and some have potential suitability in more frail patients [10].…”

“…Functional and submaximal constant work rate tests (CWRTs) have been extensively used to assess cardiorespiratory and muscular endurance in people with COPD [29,30] The increasing demand to make exercise and pulmonary rehabilitation interventions accessible for different populations and settings [34] enforces a need for more simple, quick and universally applicable tests. OLIVEIRA et al [35] explored the physiological responses of the 1-min sit-to-stand (STS) test and the 6-min walk test (6MWT), aiming to establish whether these tests could be used interchangeably in patients with COPD and interstitial lung diseases [36].…”

This article provides an overview of outstanding sessions that were (co)organised by the Allied Respiratory Professionals' Assembly during the European Respiratory Society International Congress 2019 in Madrid, Spain. Session content was mainly targeted at allied respiratory professionals such as respiratory physiologists, respiratory physiotherapists and respiratory nurses, and is summarised in this document. Short take-home messages related to pulmonary function testing highlight the importance of quality control. Furthermore, novel findings regarding the assessment of functional status call attention to bodily factors that can affect functional status. Regarding pulmonary rehabilitation, data were presented about the use of equipment and type of exercise training in COPD and lung cancer. Recent developments in physical activity-related research give insight in enablers of physical activity after hospital admission. The importance of integrated respiratory care was also highlighted, with the occupational therapist, nurse, and nutritional and psychological counsellor playing a pivotal role, which relates directly to research in the field of respiratory nursing that formulates the need for more nursing led-interventions in the future. To conclude, this review provides readers with valuable insight into some of the emerging and future areas affecting clinical practice of allied healthcare professionals.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is today one of the world's most common chronic diseases, estimated by the World Health Organization to be the third leading cause of death worldwide by the year 2030. An often neglected aspect of COPD is that the course of the disease is linked to extrapulmonary manifestations that are currently not dealt with optimally, but that has a direct and substantial impact on the condition. Limb muscle dysfunction, at the functional level defined as the reduction of either strength or endurance (or both) properties of the muscle, is highly prevalent in COPD, closely linked to critical clinical and prognostic outcomes including functional status, quality of life, and even mortality. If the goal is to improve limb muscle function among people with COPD is exercise training recommended before other treatment modalities, highly prioritized in international guidelines. In this chapter, why and how to assess and manage limb muscle dysfunction among people with COPD will be targeted, highlighting the vital role of physical therapy and the physiotherapist.
