Rehabilitation Exercise At Home (REACH): Improving equity of access and patient related outcomes. A trial of telerehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）是一种慢性肺部疾病，其特征是呼吸困难，运动耐量和生活质量差。运动训练（肺康复）可以改善这些问题，但是，由于缺乏可用性和交通问题，人们通常很难获得这些计划，特别是在农村地区。这些项目旨在确定通过互联网提供肺康复的好处和成本。

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung condition, characterised by breathlessness, and poor exercise tolerance and quality of life. Exercise training (Pulmonary Rehabilitation) improves these problems, however, it is often difficult for people to access these programs, particularly in rural areas, due to lack of availability and issues surrounding transport. These projects aim to determine the benefits and costs of pulmonary rehabilitation delivered via the internet.
