Nguyen, Khang T.; Brooks, Dina; Macedo, Luciana G.; Ellerton, Cindy; Goldstein, Roger; Alison, Jennifer A.; Dechman, Gail; Harrison, Samantha L.Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) increases fall risk, but consensus is lacking on suitable balance measures for fall risk screening in this group. We aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of balance measures for fall risk screening in community-dwelling older adults with COPD. Methods In a secondary analysis of two studies, participants, aged ≥60 years with COPD and 12-month fall...

Hao, Qiukui; Brooks, Dina; Ellerton, Cindy; Goldstein, Roger; Lee, Annemarie L.; Alison, Jennifer A.; Dechman, Gail; Haines, Kimberley J.Background and objectives: Available evidence suggests that adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) performed substantially worse than healthy controls on many balance measures and balance training can improve the balance measures in this population. We conducted this study to determine the effects of incorporating balance training into pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on the incidence of falls at...

Beauchamp, Marla; Brooks, Dina; Ellerton, Cindy; Lee, Annemarie; Alison, Jennifer; Camp, Pat; Dechman, Gail; Haines, Kimberley; Harrison, SamanthaBACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A growing body of evidence shows that individuals with COPD have important deficits in balance control that may be associated with an increased risk of falls. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a key therapeutic intervention for individuals with COPD; however, current international guidelines do not i...
