Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study was to compare the viscoelastic properties of auxiliary respiratory muscles and peripheral muscles of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with healthy subjects. Myotonometry was used to evaluate the viscoelastic properties of the muscles. The viscoelastic properties of the sternoclaidus mastoid, pectoralis major, upper trapezius, deltoid, biceps brachii, rectus femoris, gastrocinemius, and tibialis anterior muscles were evaluated.

Detailed Description

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

muscle viscoelastic properties; muscle tone, stiffness and elasticity. These features may vary due to muscle overuse, lack of relaxation and recovery. The aim is to investigate these differences in COPD patients and healthy individuals.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

COPD group

Patients with COPD who presented to the chest diseases polyclinic and whose symptoms of cough, sputum and/or dyspnoea accompanied by tachypnoea and/or tachycardia had not worsened in the last 14 days were defined as 'Stable COPD group' \[

No interventions assigned to this group

Control group

The control group was defined as those who did not have any systemic disease and who were normal at the end of the polyclinic examination who applied to the chest diseases polyclinic.

No interventions assigned to this group
