Summary

The risk of falling in increased in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. To date, a screening test (the Berg Balance scale, BBS) is used to evaluate this risk but it spends 20 to 30 minutes to complete.

The aim of our study is to evaluate the sensitivity of a more straightforward test (Timed Up and Go, TUG)) to assess the fall risk. The TUG is routinely used in elderly to screen for frailty.
