Are There Differences in Postural Control and Muscular Activity in Individuals with COPD and with and Without Sarcopenia?
Individuals with COPD and sarcopenia demonstrated greater instability in both bipedal stances and on unstable surfaces, as well as poorer performance in both dynamic and static balance assessments. Furthermore, these individuals exhibited reduced muscular activation in the lower limbs compared to those without sarcopenia.
