Brief summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the level of sensorimotor function impairment according to disease stage in individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and to determine whether functional differences exist between individuals with COPD and healthy controls.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Montreal Cognitive Assessment	Enrollment	Cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. The scale evaluates various cognitive domains, such as executive functions, visuospatial skills, attention, memory, language, abstraction, and orientation. The total score was calculated out of 30 points.
Pain Pressure Threshold and Tolerance	Enrollment	Pain threshold and pain tolerance were assessed using a digital pressure algometer (J-Tech Commander algometer, Preston Co., USA). Two measurements were taken from each site, and the mean value was used in the analysis.
Muscle Quality Index	Enrollment	Muscle quality was assessed using the Muscle Quality Index, calculated based on the duration of the 5-repetition sit-to-stand test, body weight, and leg length.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Lower Extremity Coordination Test	Enrollment	Lower extremity coordination was assessed using the Lower Extremity Coordination Test, performed as a heel-to-toe tapping task. The test is repeated three times over a 20-second period, and the best result is used in the analysis.
