intervention for COPD, which includes exercise training
and psychosocial support and education for
patients to achieve maximal independence and function
in the community. 7 However, this recommended
standard of care is mainly focused on training peripheral
muscles through endurance and strength training
and does not include a specific component of balance
training. Although exercise has been shown to improve
balance and decrease fall risk in older adults, 8 when
the effect of PR on balance in patients with COPD was
studied, only minor improvements on balance were
found. 9 The primary aim of this study was to assess the
effects of a PR program, including a specific component
of balance training, on functional balance of
patients with COPD.
