Abstract

Objective: To compare changes in electromyographic activity and peripheral muscle oxygenation of the intercostal muscles, in their condition as accessory muscles for respiration, in patients with COPD during a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) with and without the use of a FeelBreathe (FB) device.Material and methods: 20 subjects diagnosed with COPD who underwent two 6MTMs separated by at least 60 minutes were selected. Randomly, each of the patients underwent two 6MWT, one using the FB device and the other without FB (SFB) and electromyographic activity (EMG) was measured during the performance of both 6MWT, obtaining the root mean square (RMS), and on the other hand, tissue oxygenation of the intercostal muscles through the oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) variable.Results: There were no significant differences in the distance traveled in both 6MWT with HR to SFB. Both RMS and tissue oxygenation showed similar values between the FB condition vs. SFB at the end of both tests (32.26 ± 101.94 μV vs 28.25 ± 87.02 μV; p = 0.16 and 70.63 ± 18.80 vs 70.74 ± 16.77; p = 0.975 respectively).Conclusions: The work stimulus of the intercostal muscles during the 6MWT with the FB device does not compromise the appearance of early fatigue due to excessive activation or decreased oxygenation of these muscles at the intensity level of the 6MWT.
