Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Age and gender are cited as major risk factors for COPD. Therefore, lower extremity atrophy, which is seen in peripheral extremities and increases with aging, causes foot dysfunctions. Considering that the ability of elderly people to maintain their independence is related to a good level of consciousness and ongoing ambulation, and the frequency of foot problems seen in elderly people is approximately twice as high as the general population, foot problems seen in elderly individuals are very important for this group. In particular, the decrease in foot mobility and the fall of the medial longitudinal arch negatively affect the absorption of shocks during heel strike and foot flat and the momentum of the trunk forward. This situation may result in the expenditure of energy above normal and deterioration of balance while ensuring the proper transfer of body weight. All of these cause early fatigue and a decrease in the quality of life in the individual. In the literature, foot deformities in elderly healthy individuals and the parameters these deformities will affect people are stated. However, there is no study examining the effects of foot deformities on physical activity, fatigue, and quality of life in elderly COPD patients.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
COPD patients
Patients with a diagnosis of COPD aged over 60 years
The COPD Assessment Test
Used to assess symptoms in COPD patients.
Navicular Drop Test
It is the test used to measure the amount of pronation in the foot.
International Physical Activity Questionnaires (IPAQ)
The International Physical Activity Questionnaires (IPAQ) comprises a set of 4 questionnaires. The purpose of the questionnaires is to provide common instruments that can be used to obtain internationally comparable data on health-related physical activity.
COPD and Asthma Fatigue Scale (CAFS)
CAFS is a comprehensive, brief, patient-centered questionnaire developed to capture fatigue experienced by patients with asthma or COPD.
Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire
Disease-specific instrument designed to measure impact on overall health, daily life, and perceived well-being in patients with obstructive airways disease.
