What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Rationale: Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction using endobronchial valves (EBV) has emerged as a viable treatment option for eligible patients with severe emphysema. In all studies conducted so far, exercise capacity has only been measured using the 6-minute walk distance test (6MWT). It is known that patients with COPD frequently experience problems during ADL, which can lead to avoidance of or care dependency for performing certain tasks and have a significant social impact on their lives. Patients report that it is easier to perform ADLs after EBV treatment. Previously it was found that it was easier for patient to perform these activities after the EBV treatment. However, the physiological load during these ADLs has never been investigated before. Potentially, EBV treatment could improve the metabolic load and consequently symptom perception, thus enhancing the execution of ADLs, w
