Falls in COPD: What raises the risk?
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at what factors lead to falls in people with COPD. Researchers will assess your balance, strength, and other health factors to better understand fall risks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether walking on different slopes (like hills) can help people with COPD improve their balance. It compares different types of incline walking to see which works best.
This study follows people with COPD flare-ups (sudden worsening of breathing) to better understand what happens and what might help. You may be asked for consent and lung-function tests if you meet the breathing and age requirements.
This study follows people with COPD (chronic lung disease) over many years to better understand the condition. It may help doctors learn what factors predict worsening over time.
This trial tests a fall prevention program for older adults living in the community. It aims to help you learn how to reduce your risk of falling and stay safe on your feet.
This study measures how people with obstructive lung diseases walk and maintain balance, compared with people without lung disease. It may help researchers understand movement and balance problems that can happen with breathing conditions.
This study looks at how health knowledge, physical abilities, thinking skills, and daily habits affect quality of life in people with COPD. It aims to find ways to better support patients.
