Abstract

A walking aid enabled five patients with severe airways obstruction due to pulmonary emphysema to double their walking distance. When given 100% oxygen to breathe, the walking distance trebled; when walking aid and oxygen were combined, walking distance increased eightfold. The walking aid is a simple effective means of increasing exercise ability in room-bound patients with severe pulmonary emphysema.
