Thirty patients with non cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis,
confirmed by high resolution computed tomography
(HRCT), were allocated randomly (by a computer generated
random number sequence) to one of the two groups: (1)
control group receiving 8 weeks of twice daily chest physiotherapy;
and (2) intervention group receiving twice daily
chest physiotherapy plus pulmonary rehabilitation. Patients
were encouraged to maintain the exercises and or chest
physiotherapy, after the intervention ended.
In both groups assessments were performed at baseline,
at 8 weeks, and at 12 weeks after completion of study
(20 weeks) for each individual patient.
Prior to starting the study, all patients attended the
physiotherapy gym and or the laboratory to familiarize
themselves with the equipment and to minimize the effects
of test habituation. This was done on two separate days to
assess reproducibility of tests and this was achieved.
The study was approved by the Lothian Research Ethics
committee (Edinburgh, UK) and patients gave informed
written consent.
