Determinants of Balance in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
- Conditions
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
- Registration Number
- NCT05771506
- Lead Sponsor
- Biruni University
- Brief Summary
The primary aim of our study is to examine the relationship between balance and respiratory function, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, functional capacity, and cognitive function in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The secondary aim of our study is to compare respiratory function, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, functional capacity, balance, and cognitive functions of COPD patients and healthy individuals. This study will examine and record the participant's sociodemographic information and medical records. Balance, respiratory function, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, functional capacity, and cognitive function will be assessed. Since the patients are included in this study, no intervention will be made, no additional tests will be performed, or no changes will be made in the routine treatments of the patients during the study.
