C OPD results in inability to perform daily activities, loss of productivity and decreased quality of life of the patient, all of which
deteriorate along with the increased severity of the disease. The aim of this study is to look at the effects of upper body part
training method on a combination of breathing exercises and chest physiotherapy towards functional capacity and quality of life of
COPD patients by assessing the 6 minute walk test and CAT questionnaire (COPD Assessment Test). Chest physiotherapy and upper
body workout with the combination of breathing exercises were done to patients with COPD GOLD III-IV with or without comorbid
for 8 times with the frequency 2 times a week for a month. Spirometry test, CAT interview questionnaires and 6 minute walk test
were performed before and after the research. The subjects were given 4 puffs of salbutamol inhaler by using MDI with spacer each
time before performing any test. Of all 27 patients, 22 patients completed the program and 5 patients dropped out. A significant
increase was found (p<0.001) in the quality of life of patients where the mean of CAT score pre-intervention was 23.91±5:50 and
post-intervention was 18.32±5.21. A significant increase was also found in functional capacity (p<001) with the average mileage pre-
intervention was 277.30±80.78 m rising to 319.11±78.30 m. There was an increase in the quality of life and functional capacity in
patients with COPD who underwent chest physiotherapy and upper body part workout with the combination of breathing exercises.
