Effects of Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Gait Characteristics in Patients with COPD

Effects of Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Gait Characteristics in Patients with COPD

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) improves lower-limb muscle function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, it remains unclear whether patients improve gait characteristics, in particular stride-to-stride fluctuations that are associated with fall risks. This study aims...
