Von Leupoldt A, Dahme B (2005b) Cortical substrates for the perception of dyspnea.
Changes in perception of dyspnea were assessed with the standard visual analogue scale (VAS) method as well as with the modified Borg scale [16,17].
ITL] = maximal pressure obtained during incremental threshold loading, CRQ=Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire, RPBD=Rating of Perceived Breathing Difficulty, BDI = Baseline Dyspnea Index, POD = Perception of Dyspnea Scale.
The primary measurement is the distance walked in 6 minutes; however also blood oxygen saturation, collected by a portable oximeter, and patient's perception of dyspnea and fatigue according to Borg scale needs to be added (Table 2).
Improvement in inspiratory muscle force and endurance by training may reduce the perception of dyspnea and improve exercise tolerance.
