Rapid access rehabilitation after exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonar...
Quach, Shirley; Oliveira, Ana; Brooks, Dina; Walker, Jan; Goldstein, RogerBACKGROUND: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) improves function and health-related quality of life following acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). There is increasing interest in initiating rapid access rehabilitation (RAR) within 48h of AECOPD discharge, to facilitate transition to home and conventional PR. In this report, we identify the practical considerations for the design and...

Balance measures for fall risk screening in community-dwelling older adults wit...
Nguyen, Khang T.; Brooks, Dina; Macedo, Luciana G.; Ellerton, Cindy; Goldstein, Roger; Alison, Jennifer A.; Dechman, Gail; Harrison, Samantha L.Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) increases fall risk, but consensus is lacking on suitable balance measures for fall risk screening in this group. We aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of balance measures for fall risk screening in community-dwelling older adults with COPD. Methods In a secondary analysis of two studies, participants, aged ≥60 years with COPD and 12-month fall...
Pulmonary rehabilitation with balance training for fall reduction in chronic ob...
Hao, Qiukui; Brooks, Dina; Ellerton, Cindy; Goldstein, Roger; Lee, Annemarie L.; Alison, Jennifer A.; Dechman, Gail; Haines, Kimberley J.Background and objectives: Available evidence suggests that adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) performed substantially worse than healthy controls on many balance measures and balance training can improve the balance measures in this population. We conducted this study to determine the effects of incorporating balance training into pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on the incidence of falls at...

Quach, Shirley; Benoit, Adam; Oliveira, Ana; Packham, Tara L.; Goldstein, Roger; Brooks, DinaMobile health applications (mHealth apps) may be able to support people living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to develop the appropriate skills and routines for adequate self-management. Given the wide variety of publicly available mHealth apps, it is important to be aware of their characteristics to optimize their use and mitigate potential harms. Objective: To report the characteristics and...
Mobile health applications for self‑management in chronic lung disease: a syste...
Quach, Shirley; Michaelchuk, Wade; Benoit, Adam; Oliveira, Ana; Packham, Tara L.; Goldstein, Roger; Brooks, DinaIntegration of mobile health (mHealth) applications (apps) into chronic lung disease management is becoming increasingly popular. MHealth apps may support adoption of self-management behaviors to assist people in symptoms control and quality of life enhancement. However, mHealth apps’ designs, features, and content are inconsistently reported, making it difcult to determine which were the efective components. T...
