          Abstract

          Oxygen therapy for patients with COPD and severe hypoxemia requires the use of oxygen delivery devices that allow mobility as needed. However, the characteristics of some devices may limit the freedom of individuals to be as physically active as they desire. Limited mobility may negatively affect the perceived quality of life of individuals with COPD. The aim of this study was to understand perceived limitations that patients with COPD experience in using long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) devices.
