Therapy with tiotropium was associated with improvements in lung function, quality of life, and exacerbations during a 4-year period but did not significantly reduce the rate of decline in FEV(1).

Physical activities and movement intensity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are assessed with the DynaPort activity monitor and functional exercise capacity is the strongest correlate of physical activities in daily life.

It is concluded that the six minute walking distance can be predicted adequately using a clinically useful model in healthy elderly subjects and its variability is explained largely by age, sex, height and weight.

It is concluded that lung function and peripheral muscle force are important determinants of exercise capacity in COPD.

The purpose of this document is to update the 1999 ATS/ERS statement on limb muscle dysfunction in COPD with important advances in the understanding of the extent and nature of the structural alterations in limb muscles in patients with COPD.

The guidelines are intended for use by physicians involved in the care of patients with COPD, and their main goals are to inform health professionals and to reverse a widespread nihilistic approach to the management of these patients.
