Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A growing body of evidence suggests that in individuals with chronic lung disease their walk speed is related to their daily function and quality of life. It is possible to assess their usual (routine) and fast walking speeds by getting them to walk in a flat hallway.

In individuals with chronic lung disease, we anticipate that their usual walk speed will be helpful in exercise prescription and use in multidimensional scoring systems. However, it is important to first determine the measurement properties of these two walk speeds.

COPD patients

Usual and Fast Walking Speeds

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Stable patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease will demonstrate their usual and fast walking speeds over a 30 m course, with speed calculated over the middle 10 m using optical sensors. The test will be repeated after a 5 minute rest; this procedure will then be repeated on two subsequent days, at the same time of day, within one week.
