〔Abstract〕 Objective To analyze the effect of eight section brocade technique training on lower limb muscle strength and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods A total of 84 COPD patients treated in Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated Second People's Hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were selected and divided into a control group and an observation group by random number table method, with 42 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received routine treatment and nursing in respiratory medicine, and patients in the observation group were exercised with eight section brocade technique training on the basis of the control group. Before intervention and 6 weeks after intervention, lower limb muscle strength, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test (CAT) score and adverse events were compared between the two groups. Results After intervention, compared with the control group, patients in the observation group had stronger lower limb muscle strength, higher 6MWT value and lower CAT score, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Eight section brocade technique training in COPD patients can promote the improvement of their lower limb muscle strength and help improve their quality of life, and it is safe and reliable.
