NCT05044884 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 42

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study is designed to compare circuit training and otago exercise program for improvement of balance in COPD patients. Although both techniques are effective for balance training but Otago exercise program is home-based exercise program, which, if proven effective, will help the COPD patients to do work up at home, thereby reducing cost of hospital visits and improving balance ability and thus the quality of life more effectively.
