| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To determine the prevalence of impaired balance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). single time point (baseline) Balance impairment (primary outcome): assessed using balance tests such as Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and/or Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To investigate the association between impaired balance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and baseline characteristics, including age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) single time point (baseline) characteristic record form,To investigate the association between impaired balance in patients with COPD and disease severity, spirometry, CAT, mMRC, ABE GOLD, inhaled medications, and LTOT. single time point (baseline) pulmonary function by spirometry test, CAT, mMRC, ABE GOLD, review medical record form,To investigate the association between impaired balance in patients with COPD and muscle mass, fat mass, handgrip, back and respiratory muscle strength, and 6-minute walking test performance single time point (baseline) BC-730 body composition scale, skinfold calipers, grip dynamometer (D T.K.K.5401), back strength meter (D T.K.K.5402), respiratory pressure meter (RPM01), and 6-minute walk test (6-MWT) | — |
