Clinical trials: Respiratory Muscle Strength
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Comparison of Repetitive Magnetic Stimulation and Exercise on Quadriceps Function in COPD
Background Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients develop leg weakness and a reduced walking capacity, due to reduced leg muscle oxygen-utilising capacity (OUC).
