Skeletal muscle dysfunction in COPD
FY 2012-13
Summary
The muscles from the lower limbs are commonly affected in persons suffering from a chronic respiratory disease.
This is important because this may cause exercise intolerance, quality of life and even life expectancy.
This is also important because muscles can be treated.
The purpose of this research program is to try to understand why do persons with chronic respiratory disease such as emphysema have problems with their muscles.
We hope that our research will lead to better treatment of this condition.
