Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In patients with more severe COPD the benefits of rehabilitation might be less clear and therefore new treatment options have been developed to increase the benefits of rehabilitation. This paper provides an overview of new approaches being developed as an adjunct to exercise training. Successively the benefits of adding ventilatory support, oxygen, anabolics or neuromuscular stimulation to a rehabilitation programme will be discussed. While positive benefits for a number of these approaches have been found many questions remain unsolved. Therefore, until now we can not recommend these new tools as part of routine management in patients with COPD who start a rehabilitation programme.
