Proprioceptive Changes Impair Balance Control in Individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Lotte Janssens; Simon Brumagne; Alison K. McConnell dkk.

PLoS ONE, Vol. 8 No. 3 · 2013 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

Introduction: Balance deficits are identified as important risk factors for falling in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the specific use of proprioception, which is of primary importance during balance control, has not been studied in individuals with COPD…

Physical Activity Counselling during Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Patients with COPD: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Chris Burtin; Daniel Langer; Hans van Remoortel dkk.

PLOS ONE, Vol. 10 No. 12 · 2015 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation programs only modestly enhance daily physical activity levels in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This randomised controlled trial investigates the additional effect of an individual activity counselling program during pulmonary…

Two Distinct Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Phenotypes Are Associated with High Risk of Mortality

Pierre-Régis Burgel; Jean-Louis Paillasseur; Bernard Peene dkk.

PLoS ONE, Vol. 7 No. 12 · 2012 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

Rationale: In COPD patients, mortality risk is influenced by age, severity of respiratory disease, and comorbidities. With an unbiased statistical approach we sought to identify clusters of COPD patients and to examine their mortality risk. Methods: Stable COPD subjects (n = 527) were classified…

Impaired Postural Control Reduces Sit-to-Stand-to-Sit Performance in Individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Lotte Janssens; Simon Brumagne; Alison K. McConnell dkk.

PLoS ONE, Vol. 9 No. 2 · 2014 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

Background: Functional activities, such as the sit-to-stand-to-sit (STSTS) task, are often impaired in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The STSTS task places a high demand on the postural control system, which has been shown to be impaired in individuals with COPD. It…

Moderate Intense Physical Activity Depends on Selected Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) Cut-Off and Type of Data Analysis

Hans van Remoortel; Carlos Augusto Camillo; Daniel Langer dkk.

PLoS ONE, Vol. 8 No. 12 · 2013 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

Background: Accelerometry data are frequently analyzed without considering whether moderate-to-vigorous physical activities (MVPA) were performed in bouts of >10 minutes as defined in most physical activity guidelines. We aimed i) to quantify MVPA by using different commonly-applied physical…

Variants in the 15q24/25 Locus Associate with Lung Function Decline in Active Smokers

Firdaus A. A. Mohamed Hoesein; Els Wauters; Wim Janssens dkk.

PLoS ONE, Vol. 8 No. 1 · 2013 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

Genetic variation in nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit genes (nAChRs) is associated with lung function level and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is unknown whether these variants also predispose to an accelerated lung function decline. We investigated the association of…
