5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to show if the six-minute stepper test (ST6) is a sensible marker of exercise tolerance evolution during a pulmonary rehabilitation program in people with all stages of severity of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Detailed Description
Currently, the reference test in assessing functional capacity in COPD patients during pulmonary rehabilitation is the six-Minute Walking Test (6MWT). However, the realization of the 6MWT requires a 30m-long corridor, according to the American Thoracic Society Guidelines. Lack of sufficient space can prevent the realization of 6MWT, especially for private practitioner pulmonologists, and also in hospitals. The six-minute stepper test (ST6) which can be performed in a normal room, should be an interesting alternative.
