Falls Incidence and Associated Risk Factors among People with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

2022-09-08

Abstract excerpt

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is increasingly being recognized as a systemic disease rather than a mere disorder of the lungs. Central (respiratory) and peripheral (limb) muscle weakness are among the main pronounced systemic effects of COPD. While the disease primarily affects the lower limb muscles and contributes to gait impairment, COPD is also associated with an increasing risk of falls in pati...
