Objective To investigate the efficacy of rehabilitation for patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by the modified exercise prescription of reduced lip-abdominal breathing plus Liu Zi Jue.Methods The 100 patients were randomly divided into four groups,including control group,reduced lip-abdominal breathing group,Liu Zi Jue group,exercise prescription group.Each group had 25 patients.The lung function,6 min walking distance (6MWD) and artery blood gas analysis were measured before exercise and after keeping exercising for six months.Results The exercise prescription group significantly improved more than control group,reduced lip-abdominal breathing group and Liu Zi Jue group in the lung function FEV1,FEV1 ％pred and 6MWD and artery blood gas analysis.It had a statistically significant.Conclusions Modified exercise prescription of reduced lip-abdominal breathing plus Liu Zi Jue can significantly improve lung function and improve exercise capacity in patients with COPD,and it is significantly better than single reduced lip-abdominal breathing and Liu Zi Jue exercise.
