Effect of Rehabilitation at Moderate Altitude on Airway Resistance Measured With Forced Oscillation Technique in COPD-patients
Effect of Rehabilitation at Moderate Altitude on Airway Resistance Measured With Forced Oscillation Technique in Patients With COPD
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Airway resistance will be measured using the forced oscillation technique (FOT). The parameters Rrs, Xrs, and ∆Xrs will be compared before and after a pulmonary rehabilitation cycle at moderate altitude. Additionally, the differences between low and moderate altitude will also be examined.
