Abstract

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an effective intervention for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However,
uptake of PR is low due to patient frailty, transportation issues and access. Home-based rehabilitation has been introduced
in recent years to palliate the lack of feasibility for many patients to attend traditional center-based PR programs. Hence,
this study was conducted to evaluate COPD patients in home-based PR. A total of 56 patients were evaluated for 6 months’
period in 4 different occasions. It was concluded that home-based PR was effective as improvement occurred in all parameters.
