Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Hypothesis: The above programme can reduce readmissions for AECOPD
Design: Randomised control trial. Patients will be randomised to the intervention or usual care group
Subjects: Patients discharged from hospital after an episode of acute exacerbation of COPD
Study instruments: Activity monitor, quality of life questionnaire
Interventions: The Intervention group will receive a short course pulmonary rehabilitation training as out-patient in the physiotherapy department for 4-8 sessions, 2 hours each time, 1-2 times weekly. The training is scheduled in the way that each subject would have at least 4-8 weeks supervised training by trained physiotherapist. Home exercise will be taught and the case manager will give phone calls to the subject every 2 weeks to provide support and reinforcement for having continuous exercise at home for one year. Patients will be invited to attend reinforcement out-patient physiotherapy training once very month or every 2 months if they are willing to attend.

Intervention group
The physiotherapist will provide every patient an individualized physical training programme that fits their cardiopulmonary status. Patients will have the training as out-patient in the physiotherapy department for 4-8 sessions, 2 hours each time, 1-2 times weekly. Home exercise will be taught. Our case manager will give phone calls to the subject every 2 weeks to provide support and reinforcement for having continuous exercise at home for one year. Patients will be invited to attend reinforcement out-patient physiotherapy training once very month or every 2 months if they are willing to attend.
