Objective:
The aim of the study is to study the noninferiority of functional capacity and quality of life between hybrid tele-pulmonary rehabilitation and pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic respiratory diseases.
Design:
Sixty-four participants underwent a 5-wk pulmonary rehabilitation program and were divided into two groups: a pulmonary rehabilitation group and a hybrid tele-pulmonary rehabilitation group.The 6-Minute Walk Test, a time limit test, the Single-Leg Stance Test, and the Sit-to-Stand Test were used to evaluate functional capacity, whereas quality of life was self-evaluated using the VQ11 questionnaire.
Results:
Both groups had improved their performances in the 6-Minute Walk Test and time limit test, their strength capacity in the Sit-to-Stand Test, and their balance in the Single-Leg Stance Test to a similar extent (P < 0.001) after the 5-wk program. For the quality of life, a more pronounced improvement for the hybrid tele-pulmonary rehabilitation group was observed (P < 0.001) 7 wks and 1 yr after the end of the program.
Conclusions:
The effectiveness hybrid tele-pulmonary rehabilitation protocol seems to be comparable to that of the conventional model. Hybrid tele-pulmonary rehabilitation is not inferior with improvements in functional capacity and quality of life.

01:25Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
