Background summary
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by dyspnea, a lower quality of walking ability and more balance disturbances. Until now, gait patterns of COPD patients have only been investigated by accelerometers. Only few differences in gait patterns have been found, for example higher walking variability (medio-lateral displacement) and lower cadence. With a new device, the GRAIL, gait patterns can be assessed more extensively.
Study objective
Patients with COPD have altered gait patterns compared to healthy controls.
Study design
At the start and endpoint of pulmonary rehabilitation.
