“…Limitations: 6MWD results are influenced by leg strength and balance in CHF patients. 24,25) However, leg strength and balance were not assessed at the time of hospital discharge in the present study. 6MWD measured at discharge may be shorter in readmitted patients if their leg strength or balance was poor or compromised at the initial hospital admission.…”

SummaryPatients with chronic heart failure (CHF) are frequently readmitted to the hospital due to disease progression. Although a shorter 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) is correlated with poor prognosis, 6MWD is not considered a clinical indicator for predicting hospital readmission.We investigated whether 6MWD measured at the time of hospital discharge predicted readmission due to heart failure in CHF patients.Patients admitted to the hospital for the first time due to heart failure were enrolled. After 6MWD was measured at discharge, patients were followed-up for 3 years. Clinical characteristics, 6MWD and readmission due to heart failure were evaluated in 252 patients (68.5 ± 11.8 years old, 162 males). Significant factors that affected readmission were extracted and cut-off values were determined using multivariate logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic curves.Of 252 CHF patients, 103 were readmitted within 3 years. 6MWD at the time of discharge was significantly shorter in readmitted patients than non-readmitted patients (P < 0.001) and was a significant predictor of readmission (P < 0.001). The odds ratio for readmission was 1.22 (P < 0.001) with each 10-meter decrease in 6MWD. The 6MWD cut-off value was determined to be 390 meters, with a sensitivity of 0.75 and a specificity of 0.77.6MWD measured at the time of discharge is an independent predictor of hospital readmission in CHF patients, with a cut-off value of 390 meters.

“…Deterioration in balance function clearly starts at a relatively young age and further accelerates around the age of sixty 7 . Recent studies have noted reduced balance and coordination in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) 3,8 . The postural attitude of a hyperinflated thorax can lead to shoulder, spinal column, and pelvic girdle compensations, including spinal column deformities as increased thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis, which are fairly common in adults with CF 9 .…”

| Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a hereditary condition in which lung disease affects all patients. In addition to pulmonary involvement, the multisystemic components of CF cause significant physical limitations. However, the impact of lung function on balance control in CF has not been studied. Objective: To assess body balance in adults with CF and to test its possible associations with lung function, nutritional status, and functional capacity. Method: This was a cross-sectional study in which 14 adults with CF underwent pulmonary function testing (spirometry, body plethysmography, and carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLco), respiratory muscle strength, 6-min walking distance (6MWD), Berg balance scale (BBS), nutritional analysis (body mass index and bioelectrical impedance), and stabilometry. Body balance was quantified using stabilometry; all participants performed the following two trials: opened base, eyes open (OBEO); closed base, eyes closed (CBEC). Results: In stabilometry, the median for the lateral range and anterior-posterior range in the CBEC trial was 0.10 (0.08-0.11) and 0.13 (0.11-0.22), respectively (p<0.05). The maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) correlated inversely with the lateral standard deviation (ρ=-0.61; p<0.05) as the DLco correlated positively with the anterior-posterior range (ρ=0.54; p<0.05). There were significant relationships between body composition indexes and almost all stabilometric variables measured. There were no relationships of the BBS and 6MWD with the stabilometric variables. Conclusions: In adults with CF, imbalance occurs mainly in the anterior-posterior direction and is especially associated with body composition.Keywords: cystic fibrosis; rehabilitation; respiratory function tests; postural balance; psychomotor performance; nutrition assessment.

Introduction: Body balance is one of the most important functions of the organism and is directly associated with quality of life. Thus, given that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) causes pulmorary alterations as well as several systemic complications, it is extremely important to make a careful investigation of its implications for body stability. Objective: To assess the balance of individuals with COPD by using Foam-Laser Dynamic Posturography. Materials and methods: 29 patients (19 men and 10 women; mean age 64.72 ± 7.67 years) who were former smokers and had COPD GOLD II and III were selected to participate in the study group. The control group was composed of 24 individuals (12 women and 12 men; mean age 63.58 ± 8.17 years) who did not have COPD. To assess the balance of participants, we used Foam-Laser Dynamic Posturography. Results: With regard to the Foam-Laser Dynamic Posturography test, we found no significant differences (p < 0.05) between the experimental and the control group when compared to the variables of the SOT tests (SOT I to VI) or to the variables of the sensory analysis, i.e., somatosensory, visual and vestibular functions, and visual preference. Conclusion: This

Static Balance Is Affected Following an Exercise Task in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Abstract: A submaximal exercise task in patients with COPD affects balance during static standing tasks in the absence of visual input. This may have implications for functional performance following exercise in patients with chronic respiratory disease.
