3 Minutes Chair Rise Test (3CRT) in Patients With COPD

Chair Rise Tests for a Simplified Evaluation of Functional Response After a Rehabilitation Program in Patients COPD.

Improvement in the functional functioning and dyspnea of COPD patients after a rehabilitation program (RHB) is assessed by exercise tests and questionnaires difficult to replicate outside specialized centers.

In order to monitor the eventual decline of patients in the course of their RHB management, Chair Rise Tests (3CRT-1CRT-5STS) and short questionnaires were developed (CAT-DIRECT). The goal of this prospective, multicenter, real-life study is to compare the change in several functional function tests and questionnaires of quality of life and dyspnea related to daily activities. In addition, MCIDs of the 3CRT and the DIRECT questionnaire (Disability Related to COPS Tool) were specified.
