Covey M, Larson J, Wirtz S, Berry J, Pogue N, Alex C, et al.
J Cardiopulm Rehabil . 2001 Aug; 21(4):231-40. PMID: 11508185
Purpose: This study examined the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) with high-intensity inspiratory pressure loads on respiratory muscle performance and exertional dyspnea. Methods: This was a randomized single-blind clinical...

Covey M, Larson J, Wirtz S
Med Sci Sports Exerc . 1999 Sep; 31(9):1257-64. PMID: 10487366
Unlabelled: Submaximal constant work rate exercise tests are often used to measure the efficacy of an exercise intervention, but the reliability of these tests in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary...

Larson J, Covey M, Wirtz S, Berry J, Alex C, Langbein W, et al.
Am J Respir Crit Care Med . 1999 Aug; 160(2):500-7. PMID: 10430720
In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) the intensity of aerobic training is limited by dyspnea. Improving strength of the inspiratory muscles could enhance aerobic exercise training by reducing...

Nurs Res . 1999 Feb; 48(1):9-19. PMID: 10029397
Background: Symptom-limited exercise tests are widely used to evaluate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the reliability of these tests is not...

Larson J, Covey M, Berry J, Wirtz S, Alex C, Matsuo M
Chest . 1999 Jan; 115(1):60-7. PMID: 9925063
Study Objective: To assess the discontinuous incremental threshold loading (DC-ITL) test as a measure of respiratory muscle endurance for patients with COPD in terms of perceived breathing difficulty, reliability, and...

Larson J, Kapella M, Wirtz S, Covey M, Berry J
J Nurs Meas . 1998 Oct; 6(1):55-73. PMID: 9769611
The Functional Performance inventory (FPI) is a new instrument designed to measure functional status in terms of activities that people perform on a daily basis. Psychometric characteristics were examined by...

Larson J, Covey M, Vitalo C, Alex C, Patel M, Kim M
Nurs Res . 1996 Jul; 45(4):203-10. PMID: 8700653
Validity and test-retest liability of the 12-minute distance (12MD) walk, a measure of functional status, were examined in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Four tests were administered at weekly...

Chest . 1993 Aug; 104(2):448-53. PMID: 8339633
Reliability of the maximal inspiratory pressure (Pimax) was examined by measuring Pimax once a week for 4 weeks in 91 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using an aneroid pressure...
