Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to determine the factors affecting falls in patients with COPD.
Detailed Description
The aim of this study is to determine the factors affecting falls in patients with COPD. In accordance with the purposes, at least 100 patients with COPD who are 45-80 years old and clinically stable for four weeks will be included. Tests and questionnaires will be used in order to determine the severity of disease. Lung function test and respiratory muscle strength will be performed. Six Minute Walk Test and Six Minute Pegboard and Ring test will be performed with an armband that measures energy expenditure for functional exercise capacity for functional exercise capacity. To evaluate posture, the Corbin Postural Assessment Scale will be used. Hand grip test, periphreal muscle strength test, Time up and go test and One minute sit to stand test will be performed. International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form (IPAQ) will be used to determine physical activity level. Mini- Besttest and Activity-specific Balance Confidence Scale were used to determine fall risk. According to the results to be obtained factors affecting falls will be determined in patients with COPD. It will guide professional working in this field.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Balance and Fall risk-The Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest)
Time Frame: 1 day
It will be used to evaluate individuals' static and dynamic balance. It consists of four sub-parameters: preparatory movements, reactive postural control, sensory orientation, and dynamic gait, with a total of four items. The test, which takes an average of 10-15 minutes to complete, is evaluated out of a total of 28 points. A higher score indicates higher function. This test is valid and reliable in patients with COPD.
Balance and Fall risk
Time Frame: 1 day
Time up and go test will be used to assess balance and fall risk. The cut off point will be determined as 12 second for patients with COPD.
Balance and Fall risk- The Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale (ABC scale)
Time Frame: 1 day
It will be used to evaluate fall risk. A validity and reliability study has been conducted in Turkish. This scale assesses balance confidence based on functional status with 16 task-specific questions. Each question is scored between 0% (no confidence) and 100% (full confidence), and a higher total score indicates higher confidence. Scores below 67% indicate fall risk in elderly individuals. It is valid and reliable for determining fall risk in individuals with COPD.
