简要总结
Core muscles are important for spinal stability, and postural balance. Adequatestrength and endurance of core muscles are important to maintain posture andperform any functional activity efficiently. It is found that good posture isassociated with breathing pattern. Indirectly, core muscle may beaffected when there is altered breathing pattern and chronic altered posture inCOPD. However, peripheral muscle strength is reduced in chronic airway disease,but there is scarcity of literature about core muscles strength in COPD.
