Spinal Structure and Mobility in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Completed

• Conditions: Respiratory Function Impaired; Dyspnea; COPD; Postural; Defect

• Registration Number: NCT05021068
• Lead Sponsor: Izmir Katip Celebi University

Brief Summary

In recent studies with musculoskeletal system disorders in chronic respiratory patients, it has been reported that postural control is affected in COPD patients.

The aim of this study to investigate relationship between spinal structure and mobility an severity of dyspnea in patients with COPD.

Detailed Description

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable disease characterized by irreversible airway limitation. In recent studies with musculoskeletal system disorders in chronic respiratory patients, it has been reported that postural control is affected in COPD patients.It has been observed that balance systems, functional balance tests, posturography, posture assessment systems, force platform and inclinometer measurements are used in studies on postural control assessment in COPD patients.There are a limited number of studies in which devices that objectively present the degree of deviation in spinal curves are used in patients with COPD, and posture and lung volume and capacities are evaluated.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the changes in spine structure and mobility in COPD patients and to reveal their relationship with static and dynamic lung volumes and capacities.
