About this trial
In the literature, most of the studies examining the gait characteristics and balance separately or examining the relationship between them are on patients with COPD.
No study examining gait parameters in other obstructive pulmonary patients such as bronchiectasis and asthma was found.A convincing link between gait disturbances and falls in COPD patients is still unknown and further research is needed. Therefore, the purpose of our study; gait parameters and balance in individuals with obstructive pulmonary disease. We will also examine the relationship between gait parameters and extrapulmonary clinical indicators of these individuals.
