Respiratory Oscillometry in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Association with Functional Capacity as Evaluated by Adl Glittre Test and Hand Grip Strength Test.

Respiratory oscillometry provides information related to functional capacity in COPD. This method is also able to predict low exercise tolerance in these patients. These findings elucidate the physiological and clinical meaning of the oscillometric parameters, improving the interpretation of these parameters in COPD patients.
