Pedometers to enhance physical activity in COPD: a randomised controlled trial

et al. 2014

Physical inactivity is a cardinal feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Pedometers, which have been used in healthy populations, might also increase physical activity in patients with COPD.COPD patients taking part in a 3-month individualised programme to promote an increase in their daily physical activity were randomised to either a standard programme of physical activity encouragement alone, or a pedometer-based programme. Assessments were performed by investigators blinded to treatment allocation. Change in average 1-week daily step count, 6-min walking distance (6MWD), modified Medical Research Council scale, St George’s respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) and COPD assessment test (CAT) were compared between groups.102 patients were recruited, of whom 97 completed the programme (pedometer group: n=50; control group: n=47); 60.8% were male with a mean±sd age of 68.7±8.5 years, and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) 66.1±19.4% and FEV1/forced vital capacity 55.2±9.5%. Both groups had comparable characteristics at baseline. The pedometer group had significantly greater improvements in: physical activity 3080±3254 steps·day−1 versus 138.3±1950 steps·day−1 (p<0.001); SGRQ −8.8±12.2 versus −3.8±10.9 (p=0.01); CAT score −3.5±5.5 versus −0.6±6.6 (p=0.001); and 6MWD 12.4±34.6 versus −0.7±24.4 m (p=0.02) than patients receiving activity encouragement only.A simple physical activity enhancement programme using pedometers can effectively improve physical activity level and quality of life in COPD patients.

“…Las guías internacionales y nacionales recomiendan incentivar a todos los pacientes con EPOC a caminar más; sin embargo, se sabe que la recomendación por sí sola no logra revertir en forma efectiva el comportamiento sedentario de los pacientes con EPOC (12) . Nuestro grupo investigador en proyecto FONIS previo, adjudicado en el año 2010 (SA10I20022), realizó un ensayo clínico randomizado en un hospital universitario con el propósito de determinar los efectos de un programa de incentivo de la AF apoyado con contadores de pasos de carácter ambulatorio y de 3 meses de duración para los pacientes con EPOC de origen tabáquico, demostrando un incremento significativo de la AF y mejoría de la calidad de vida (13) . Dado la experiencia acumulada con aquella investigación clínica, se estima que este programa es de fácil implementación porque puede ser realizado por profesionales kinesiólogos de los centros de salud y, por otra parte, los contadores de pasos son de bajo costo.…”

The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the chronic respiratory condition most prevalent in adults, caused mainly by smoking. Its burden is progressively increasing and, according to the World Health Organization, is one of the main causes of mortality and disability around the world. Patients with COPD present acute worsening of the disease, defined as acute exacerbations, which are the main cause of hospitalizations and deaths. Therefore, it is crucial to identify effective interventions focused in their prevention. Patients with COPD present dyspnoea and intolerance to exercise responsible for a progressive reduction in the level of physical activity, which is an independent risk factor for future exacerbations and mortality. On the other hand, it has been demonstrated that COPD patients with low level of physical activity present higher marker levels of systemic inflammation. Interventions able to increase the level of physical activity in COPD patients have demonstrated positive effects in quality of life and a few clinical trials suggest that improving physical activity is able to prevent exacerbations. We hypothesize that these effects could be explained by changes in systemic inflammation secondary to an increase of physical activity.
