Abstract: Objective To explore the effects of Ba DuanJin on clinical outcomes of patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). Methods Patients with stable COPD when hospitalized from December 2016 to December 2017 were recruited. Those patients were intervened with Ba DuanJin once per day for a year after discharge. Each Ba DuanJin exercise lasted for 30 minutes. Another 50 patients when hospitalized from June 2015 to November 2016 were assigned to the control group. Pulmonary functions,results of blood gas analysis,and dyspnea were compared between the Ba DuanJin group and the control group at 6 months and 12 months. Results After 6-month and 12-month intervention,patients in the interventional group had significantly better clinical outcomes than those in the control gorup(P<0.01). Conclusion Ba DuanJin can effectively improve pulmonary function and reduce dyspnea symptoms among stable COPD patients.
