Thinking and standing: a balancing act for COPD patients?
NCT ID NCT06863246
First seen Nov 20, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study looked at how doing a mental task (like counting backwards) affects balance in people with chronic lung disease (COPD). 36 adults (COPD patients and healthy volunteers) had their balance measured while standing still and while thinking. The goal was to see if the extra mental effort makes balance worse, which could help explain why some people with COPD fall more often.
