简要总结
A growing body of evidence suggests that individuals with chronic lung disease have important deficits in balance control that may be associated with an increased risk of falls. The main purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a balance training program on measures of balance and fall risk in people with chronic lung disease.

入选标准
- •Diagnosis of COPD; a self-report of decline in balance or fall in the last 5 years or a recent near fall; smoking history greater than 10 pack years; and are able to provide written informed consent.
排除标准
- •Inability to communicate because of language skills, hearing or cognitive impairment; and evidence of a neurological or musculoskeletal condition that severely limits mobility and postural control (e.g., cerebrovascular accident, advanced Parkinson's disease, amputation).
研究组 & 干预措施
Usual care
The control group will undergo the usual pulmonary rehabilitation program offered at our centre with no additional balance training classes.
Balance Training
The treatment group will complete a specific balance training program in addition to conventional pulmonary rehabilitation.
干预措施: Balance training program (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Berg Balance Scale
时间窗: All outcomes will be assessed upon admission to pulmonary rehabilitation (baseline) and again upon completion of the program, an expected average of 6 weeks from baseline.
Balance Evaluation Systems Test
时间窗: At baseline and 6 weeks.
次要结局
- Functional strength(At baseline and 6 weeks.)
- Self-reported physical function(At baseline and 6 weeks.)
- Balance confidence/falls self-efficacy(At baseline and 6 weeks.)
