Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The secondary purposes are to investigate the correlation between cervical region biomechanics and posture, functional exercise capacity, depression \&anxiety level,neck disability, cough severity. In accordance with this purposes, 17 patients with COPD who have Global Initiative for Chronic Obstruction Lung Disease (GOLD) stage 1-2-3-4, being clinically stable for 4 weeks and 17 healthy controls will be included ages\>40. Tests and questionnaires will be used in order to determine the severity of COPD and to evaluate posture. Photographical analysis in lateral and posterior views will be used for evaluation of cranioservical region static and dynamic biomechanics. To analyze of chest wall, radiographic evaluation will be performed. Goniometry will be used for evaluation dynamic craniocervical kinematic analysis. Cranioservical region muscle strength and endurance tests will be performed. Respiratory muscle strength tests and cough evaluation test will be performed. Neck disability index, cough evaluation test questionnare, beck depression and anxiety questionnares, Nordic Musculoskeletal questionnare will be used. 6 Minute Pegboard and Ring Test, 6 Minute Walk Test will be performed. According to the results to be obtained, relationship between cranioservical region biomechanics and posture will be investigated based on the severity of disease in patients with COPD. It will guide professional working in the field.
