Abstract
Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the significant causes of death worldwide. Exercise-induced dyspnea is a common symptom among patients with emphysema dominant-COPD. Decreased exercise capacity and dyspnea are the basis of morbidity of the disease. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an effective therapy for patients with COPD. Evidence shows, PR improves exercise capacity and the course of the disease.
