Brief Summary

A descriptive study evaluating balance, gait speed, Quadriceps Femoris muscle strength and quality of life in individuals with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who fell and did not fall.

Conditions

Copd

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Fall Effectiveness Scale

  It contains 10 questions. Each question is given a score between 1-10. 1 point means very confident, 10 points means not at all confident. A patient with a score above 70 is said to have a fear of falling.

  15.04.2023-30.09.2024

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• To measure balance Berg Balance Scala

  15.04.2023-30.09.2024

• Quadriceps Femoris muscle strength falling and non-falling individuals with COPD

  15.04.2023-30.09.2024

• Two Minute Walk Test

  15.04.2023-30.09.2024

Study Arms (2)

Individuals with COPD over the age of 65 with a history of falls

Individuals with COPD who were over the age of 65 and had a history of falling were included in this group.

Other: Changed Medical research Council,Mini Mental Test, Quadriceps Femoris muscle strength measurement,2 min walking test, fall effectiveness scale,Fall risk self-assessment scale

Individuals with COPD who are over the age of 65 and have no history of falling

Individuals with COPD who were over the age of 65 and did not have a history of falling were included in this group.

Other: Changed Medical research Council,Mini Mental Test, Quadriceps Femoris muscle strength measurement,2 min walking test, fall effectiveness scale,Fall risk self-assessment scale

Interventions

Changed Medical research Council,Mini Mental Test, Quadriceps Femoris muscle strength measurement,2 min walking test, fall effectiveness scale,Fall risk self-assessment scale OTHER

All individuals were given a respiratory function test to evaluate respiratory functions before and after training Modified Medical research Council to evaluate dyspnea, Mini Mental Test to evaluate cognitive status , Berg Balance Test to evaluate balance, 2-minute walk test to evaluate walking speed. A hand dynamometer will be used to measure QuadricepsFemoris muscle strength, Fall efficiency scale Fall risk self-assessment scale will be used to evaluate falls.

Individuals with COPD over the age of 65 with a history of falls; Individuals with COPD who are over the age of 65 and have no history of falling
