| Popis: | Reaction time is one of the components of functional balance and could contribute to balance impairment. Information regarding this relationship is scant among Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) participants.To compare stepping reaction time between participants with COPD and age; gender-matched healthy individuals to find out whether reaction time in COPD population is affected.This cross-sectional study included 41 COPD participants and 41 age and gender-matched healthy individuals. All the participants underwent measurements of stepping reaction time (SRT) and timed up and go test (TUG).SRT was significantly higher in COPD participants compared to healthy individuals [median of difference- 350 milliseconds (110, 830), p0.001]. TUG was significantly higher in COPD participants compared to healthy individuals [median of difference = 2.82 seconds (0.34 and 4.5), p0.001].Participants with COPD exhibit marked increase in SRT and demonstrate a deficiency in functional balance compared to the healthy participants. |
