Detailed explanation-1: -Spirometry is the gold standard for the diagnosis of COPD. In symptomatic patients, spirometry can help determine whether the patient’s symptoms are due to respiratory disease or other conditions.
Detailed explanation-2: -A test called spirometry can help show how well your lungs are working. You’ll be asked to breathe into a machine called a spirometer after inhaling a medicine called a bronchodilator, which helps widen your airways.
Detailed explanation-3: -Changing body position from a sitting to a standing position is a common functional daily activity (19) that is necessary for autonomy. The most frequently used and investigated tests in patients with COPD are the timed up and go (TUG) test and the five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5STS).
