How people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease perceive their illness: a qualitative study between mind and body.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Skeletal muscle function dysfunction has been reported in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Studies so far showed inconclusive data whether reduced exercise capacity is related to intrinsic muscle dysfunction in CF. METHODS:Twenty patients with CF and 23 age-matched controls completed an incremental cardi...
