Brief Summary

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

The balance, gait and pain in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) study will aim to investigate the link between balance and gait impairment, and high rates of pain in people with COPD. This cross-sectional observational study will compare balance and gait outcomes for people with COPD who have pain, to those who are pain free.
