简要总结
The balance, gait and pain in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) study will aim to investigate the link between balance and gait impairment, and high rates of pain in people with COPD. This cross-sectional observational study will compare balance and gait outcomes for people with COPD who have pain, to those who are pain free.

结局指标
主要结局
Balance Evaluations Systems Test (BESTest)
时间窗: 20-30 minutes
BESTest is a quantitative assessment tool that identifies disordered systems underlying postural control that are responsible for poor functional balance. It was developed for clinicians to differentiate balance problems into six underlying systems that may constrain balance. It was developed from the theoretical understanding of balance control systems based on Bernstein's concept that postural control results from a set of interacting systems. It has 36 items that evaluate performance of 6 balance systems: bio-mechanical constraints, stability limits/verticality, anticipatory responses, postural responses, sensory orientation, and stability in gait. A higher score indicates better balance.
次要结局
- Gait analysis(10 minutes)
- Berg Balance Scale(5 minutes (for additional items not featured within the BESTest)
