2 Arm Exercise and Hyperinflation in Patients With COPD* Effect of Arm Training Francesco Gigliotti, MD; Claudia Coli, MD; Roberto Bianchi, MD; Michela Grazzini, MD; Loredana Stendardi, MD; Carla Castellani, RT; and Giorgio Scano, MD, FCCP Background: Unlike studies on leg exercise, reports on the regulation of dynamic hyperinflation during arm exercise are scanty. We ascertained the following in patients with COPD: (1) whether and to what extent upper-limb exercise results in dynamic hyperinflation, and (2) the mechanism whereby an arm-training program (ATP) reduces arm effort and dyspnea. Patients: Twelve patients with moderate-to-severe COPD were tested during incremental, symptom-limited arm exercise after a nonintervention control period (pre-atp) and after ATP. Methods: Exercise testing (1-min increments of 5 W) was performed using an arm ergometer. Oxygen uptake (V O2 ), carbon dioxide output, minute ventilation (V E), tidal volume, and respiratory rate (RR) were measured continuously during the tests. Inspiratory capacity (IC), exercise dyspnea, and arm effort using a Borg scale were assessed at each step of exercise. Results: Arm exercise resulted in a significant decrease in IC and significant positive relationships of IC with an increase in V O2 and exercise dyspnea and arm effort. The results of ATP were as follows: (1) a significant increase in exercise capacity (p < 0.001); (2) no change in the relationships of exercise dyspnea and arm effort with V E and IC, and of IC with V O2 ; (3) at a standardized work rate, V E, exercise dyspnea, and arm effort significantly decreased, while the decrease in IC was significantly less (p < 0.01) than before the ATP; the decrease in V E was accomplished primarily by a decrease in RR; and (4) at standardized V E, exercise dyspnea and arm effort decreased significantly. Conclusions: Arm exercise results in the association of dynamic hyperinflation, exercise dyspnea, and arm effort in COPD patients. An ATP increases arm endurance, modulates dynamic hyperinflation, and reduces symptoms.

In contrast, arm exercise results in premature termination of expiration and an increase in dynamic hyperinflation in flow-limited patients with cystic fibrosis. 6 Pulmonary rehabilitation programs improve exercise capacity by reducing both dynamic hyperinflation and dyspnea in patients with COPD. 7,8 An arm-training program (ATP) leads to reduction in ventilatory requirements for simple arm elevation and increases the exercise level. 9,10 Ratings of perceived dyspnea and fatigue decreased significantly in one study 11 but not in another, 9 so that the mecha- CHEST / 128 / 3/ SEPTEMBER,

Like leg-training programs, the effect of an ATP on dyspnea and arm fatigue could be due to a decrease in ventilatory requirements for a given level of activity, 12 a decrease in dynamic hyperinflation, 8 and desensitization. 7,8 The aims of this study were therefore to ascertain the following in patients with COPD: (1) whether and to what extent upper-limb exercise results in dynamic hyperinflation, and (2) the mechanism whereby an ATP reduces arm effort and dyspnea. Subjects Materials and Methods We studied 12 consecutive patients with stable, moderate-tosevere COPD who were entering an outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program. Patients satisfied the following criteria: (1) a long history of smoking and moderate-to-severe, chronic dyspnea (Medical Research Council grade 2 to 4); (2) clinically stable condition, with no exacerbation or hospital admission in the preceding 4 weeks; and (3) no other significant disease(s) potentially contributing to dyspnea. The patients were all motivated to participate in the program and did not currently smoke. Functional Evaluation Routine spirometry with the subjects in a seated position was performed as previously described. 13,14 FRC was measured by helium dilution technique. The normal values for lung volumes are those proposed by the European Respiratory Society. 15 Before performing exercise, the ventilatory patterns were evaluated with subjects sitting comfortably in an armchair with a mass-flow sensor (V max; Sensor Medics; Yorba Linda, CA). From the spirogram, we derived the tidal volume (Vt), respiratory rate (RR), and minute ventilation (V e) [Vt RR]. Arm Ergometry All patients performed an incremental (5 W/min), symptomlimited arm exercise. A modified stationary ergometer (Monarch Instrument; Varberg, Sweden) was used to deliver precise workload adjustments. The ergometer was secured to a table at shoulder level with the subjects seated in a straight-back chair. Each patient was made familiar with the apparatus days before the test. Expired gas was analyzed for V e, oxygen uptake (V o 2 ), carbon dioxide output (V co 2 ) using breath-by-breath analysis (V max System; SensorMedics). V co 2 and V o 2 were expressed as standard temperature and pressure, dry, and as a percentage of the predicted maximum V o The ventilatory equivalent for oxygen (V e/v o 2 ) and ventilatory efficiency (V e/v co 2 ) were also calculated. For each run, changes in V e, Vt, and RR were continuously recorded. There was a continuous monitoring of 12-lead ECG and oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry (NPB 290; Nellcor Puritan Bennett; Pleasanton, CA). BP was recorded at rest and every 2 min during exercise, and recovery to baseline levels. Subjects were asked to perform two IC maneuvers during the last 30 s of each workload for the measurement of end-expiratory lung volume (EELV). The use of IC maneuvers to determine EELV is based on the assumption that total lung capacity (TLC) does not change during exercise in patients with COPD. 17 IC maneuvers at peak exercise are shown to be a reliable measure of change in EELV in patients with COPD. 18 The perception of exercise dyspnea and arm effort was evaluated each minute during exercise. Patients described dyspnea as a sensation of labored or difficult breathing experienced during cranking. Subjects were asked to rank the overall sensation of exercise dyspnea and arm effort on a large Borg scale from 0 (none) to 10 (maximal). 19 The subjects were instructed that 0 signified no sensation at all, and that 10 signified the most severe sensation that they had ever experienced. ATP Each patient attended a 6-week outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program. The program included education, breathing retraining, leisure walking, and unsupported arm exercise and arm training with an arm ergometer. For the training on the arm ergometer, the workload corresponding to 80% of the peak work rate (WR) observed in the pretraining incremental exercise test was set as the training intensity. Patients were instructed to maintain this work level until they reached a symptom limit. Sessions were closely supervised by a rehabilitation therapist; during the session, heart rate (HR) and arterial oxygen saturation were monitored. Unsupported arm exercise consisted of the following: (1) repetitive bilateral shoulder abduction and extension holding a light hand weight (0.5 to 1.0 kg) in a rhythm synchronized with breathing for 2-min periods; and (2) threading a set of rings in a series of pegs placed at different heights while the arm is held above the horizontal. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Institution, and informed consent was obtained from subjects. Protocol This is a single-center, two-period, controlled study in which subjects complete a 6-week nonintervention period before entering a 6-week pulmonary rehabilitation program involving regular exercise training. In an initial screening, subjects were tested for pulmonary function and gas exchange. They became familiar with exercise testing procedures and the various scales for rating symptom intensity, and completed an incremental, symptomlimited exercise test. Three experimental visits were held at 6-week intervals immediately before the control period, after the control period (pre-atp visit), and after ATP. Therefore, the subjects acted as their own controls. All visits were conducted at the same time of day for each subject. Data Analysis To compare responses to an identical level of exercise before and after the rehabilitation program, we selected the highest WR tolerated by a given patient during pre-atp test, (the standardized WR). To compare responses to an identical level of ventilation, we selected the highest V e tolerated by a given patient during the pre-atp test (the standardized V e). Nonparametric ratings of exertional breathlessness were compared before and after intervention using the Wilcoxon test. All other measurements made before and after ATP were analyzed using the paired t test. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to test the strength of the association between measured variables. A value of p 0.05 was considered significant. Results Anthropometric and baseline function data of the 12 patients with moderate-to-severe airflow obstruc Clinical Investigations

The data did not change during the study. Incremental Exercise Performance At peak arm exercise, V e, V co 2, V o 2, HR, exercise dyspnea, arm effort, and WR all increased. The ATP did not modify V e, V co 2,V o 2, HR, exercise dyspnea, and arm effort but increased WR (p 0.001) [Table 2]. The relationships of changes in exercise dyspnea and arm effort with changes in V e, V o 2, V co 2, and the relationships of changes in V e with changes in V o 2 and V co 2 were not altered with the ATP (Table 3).

With arm exercise, IC decreased by L (from to L, p ) [mean SD]. After the ATP, IC decreased by L (from to L, p ) and was significantly less (p 0.01) than before ATP (Table 4). ATP lowered HR (p 0.03) and decreased V e (p 0.01) by lengthening RR (p 0.03) but did not modify V o 2 and V co 2 (Table 5). Figure 1 (left panel) shows individual changes in both exercise dyspnea (average, from to au; p 0.02) and arm effort (average, from to arbitrary units [au]; p 0.01) with the ATP. In most patients, exercise dyspnea and arm exercise decreased at standardized WR. Changes at Standardized V E The decrease in IC during arm exercise before ATP ( L; from to L; p 0.03) tended to significantly differ (p 0.057) from the decrease after ATP ( L; from to L; p 0.007). ATP reduced exercise dyspnea (from to au; p 0.02) and arm effort (from 5.6 3to au; p 0.01; Fig 1, right panel), lowered HR (p 0.03), but did not modify WR, V o 2,V co 2,Vt, and RR (Table 6).

In each patient, a decrease in IC was significantly correlated with increase in V o 2 ( V o 2 / IC, L/min/L; from r 0.73 to 0.96).

Arm exercise resulted in dynamic hyperinflation, which directly correlated with increases in dyspnea, arm effort, and V o 2. The ATP resulted in the following: (1) a significant increase in exercise capacity at peak exercise; (2) a decrease in both ventilation and dynamic hyperinflation, primarily due to a decrease in RR at standardized WR; and (3) a decrease in dyspnea and arm effort at standardized WR and ventilation. The novel finding of this study is the dynamic hyperinflation, ie, the increase in dynamic EELV during supported-arm exercise in patients with COPD. To the extent that TLC does not change appreciably during exercise in COPD, 17 a change in IC accurately reflects the change in EELV. 18 Dynamic hyperinflation minimizes expiratory flow limitation during lower-limb exercise in patients with severe COPD, 2,3,8,20 22 but puts the respiratory muscles in a disadvantageous portion of their length/ tension relationship and imposes an elastic load on the muscles during inspiration. 2,3 Alison et al 6 found that arm exercise may either increase EELV or reduce its decrease compared to leg exercise in healthy subjects, and diminish exercise capacity in flow-limited patients with cystic fibrosis. We explain dynamic hyperinflation with arm exercise in patients with COPD as being due to inadequate time to exhale the volume required to maintain EELV before the next inspiration begins. Due to the load it places on an already stressed system, arm exercise contributes to dyspnea and disability in many patients with COPD. 23,24 In particular, the following are seen: (1) hyperinflation decreases maximal force-generating capacity of the respiratory muscle, 25,26 thereby increasing the central motor output to a weakened muscle; (2) the decrease in force-generating capacity increases the sense of inspiratory effort 25 ; and (3) the association of an increased motor output with an increased respiratory system impedance increases the respiratory muscle load and may affect the coupling between inspiratory effort and concurrent inspiratory volume (neuromuscular dissociation of the ventilatory pump). 2,3 Another finding of this study is the association 1228 Clinical Investigations

The rib cage and abdominal wall must be fixed to maintain the position of the torso during upper-limb exercise. 27 This may result in a stiffer rib cage and the need for maintaining a particular ventilation by increasing the RR, and thereby dynamic hyperinflation, while the central output to the exercising arms increases. Last but not least, the increase in dynamic hyperinflation predicted an average 69% of the variability in V o 2 (from 36 to 92%; Fig 3). These data confirm the results by Diaz et al 28 during incremental, symptom-limited exercise on a cycle ergometer in stable patients with COPD. In that study, resting IC (IC percentage of predicted) explained 56% of the variance in maximum V o 2. Our data extend those results, in that dynamic hyperinflation during exercise largely predicts V o 2. Factors other than mechanical factors, such as deconditioning, are likely to explain the residual variance in V o 2. The present data also show that, regardless of leg or arm cycling, dynamic hyperinflation is a predictor of exercise tolerance in patients with COPD. 28 Training that includes both upper- and lower-limb exercise may improve upper-extremity exercise endurance 7,9 11 and ratings of dyspnea. 7,11 The effects of the ATP on dyspnea reduction must, however, be defined. Although respiratory function has generally been reported not to change after pulmonary rehabilitation programs, a mild decrease in FRC after upper-extremity exercise training has been found in patients with COPD. 11 Ries et al 11 showed, however, Figure 1.

Previous studies 29,30 of inhaled bronchodilator therapy in patients with COPD have shown that even a moderate reduction in dynamic hyperinflation may contribute to an improvement in dyspnea. Likewise, we have shown that rehabilitation programs based on leg exercise training decrease dynamic hyperinflation and reduce dyspnea. 8 The present data clearly show the association between decreases in dynamic hyperinflation, RR, dyspnea, and arm effort at standardized WR. We explain the decrease in dynamic hyperinflation as being due to the increased time to exhale the volume required to maintain EELV before the next inspiration begins. We found a significant relationship between IC and dyspnea and arm effort ratings during arm exercise (Fig 2), with the correlation coefficients being, however, as low as that found during leg exercise. 8 These data suggest that, although dynamic hyperinflation contributes to exertional dyspnea in patients with COPD, additional physiologic and/or sensory factors are also important to the perception of dyspnea and arm effort during exercise. The reasons are as follows: (1) unlike the lack of changes in the slopes of ventilation with both V o 2 and V co 2 (Table 3), ventilation decreased at standardized WR (Table 4); (2) changes in ventilation explained a consistent amount of changes in both dyspnea and arm effort before (r and r , respectively) and after the ATP (r and r , respectively); and (3) tolerance or desensitization to dyspnea and arm effort may allow patients to perform higher levels of work with reduced symptoms. 7,31,32 And indeed, at standardized ventilation, both arm effort and dyspnea were lower after the ATP as compared to before (Table 6). These findings indicate that both mechanical constraints and desensitization contribute to arm exercise-induced dyspnea after the training program. Furthermore, Figure 2.

Even though the small series of patients in this study should prevent us from drawing definite conclusions, our data indicate that arm exercise may result in the association of dynamic hyperinflation, dyspnea, and arm effort in patients with COPD. The ATP increases arm endurance, modulates dynamic hyperinflation, and reduces symptoms. References 1 Pride N. Respiratory muscle activation during exercise in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
