How do people with COPD walk? A European study on digitally measured real-world gait
In people with COPD, gait DMOs are normally distributed and worsen as disease advances. Moreover, walking speed and cadence DMOs are significantly altered when compared to healthy peers. Further research should elucidate which DMOs can be improved with treatments to enhance mobility and reduce adverse events.
