| Summary: | Reference: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), third most prevalent disease around the world, is a respiratory disorder, with chronic symptoms, as dyspnea, cough and expectoration. Hypothesis: the implementation the of methods simplification techniques reduces the cardiovascular load (CL) in daily activities performance (“clothing” and “bath and shower” in persons with COPD).Methods and sample: this is a quasi-experimental and quantitative type. With a simple used by convenience, composed of 6 subjects from the Metropolitan Region.Results: Clothing: from the 6 subjects, the 100% decreases the CL percentage after the application of methods simplification techniques. Bath and shower:(in this case, the sample is composed by 5 subjects): 80% of the total sample decreases its CL percentage after the implementation of methods simplification techniques.Conclusions: the implementation of the intervention strategies based on the methods simplification technique evidence to be effective to the group that constitutes this sample. |
