Deficits in postural control are increasingly recognized among the important secondary impairments in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). There are conflicting results regarding the effect of inspiratory muscle training in improvement of inspiratory muscle strength, endurance, and dyspnea in stable COPD patients. The main inspiratory muscle, the diaphragm has also a stabilizing function of the trunk. The aim of this study to enhance postural control of COPD patients with improving the stability of the trunk by using inspiratory muscle training.

| Primary | Maximal Inspiratory Pressure | The inspiratory pressure generated against a completely occluded airway; used to evaluate inspiratory respiratory muscle strength and readiness for weaning from A maximum inspiratory pressure is measured in H2Ocm. MIP is measured with POWERbreathe K1 | 6 weeks | |
| Primary | Timed Up and Go Test | Timed Up and Go: It uses the time that a person takes to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down. | 6 weeks | |
| Primary | Four Square Step Test | Four Square Step Test:
The subject is required to sequentially step over four canes set-up in a cross configuration on the ground. The aim is to step as fast as possible into each square with both feet. |
6 weeks | |
| Primary | Modified Functional Reach Test | Modified Functional Reach Test:
The MFRT assesses a patient's stability by measuring the maximum distance an individual can reach forward while sitting in a fixed position. |
6 weeks | |
| Primary | Modified Lateral Reach Test | Modified Lateral Reach Test:
The MLRT assesses a patient's stability by measuring the maximum distance an individual can reach side direction while sitting in a fixed position. |
6 weeks | |
| Primary | Stand Up Test | Stand Up Test:
Individual stand up from tailor sit from the floor as fast as possible. |

| Secondary | Sway analysis: COF area (cm2) | Sway is the oscillating movement of the body, while posture is the relative alignment and orientation of the segments of the body. Sway analysis is a systematic assessment of the readiness and stability of the human body to achieve and maintain equilibrium. Area and direction of sway, elliptical pattern of sway, distance and direction traveled by Center of Force (CoF) is measured with HR Mat VersaTek System. | 6 weeks | |
| Secondary | Sway analysis: COF distance (cm) | Sway is the oscillating movement of the body, while posture is the relative alignment and orientation of the segments of the body. Sway analysis is a systematic assessment of the readiness and stability of the human body to achieve and maintain equilibrium. Area and direction of sway, elliptical pattern of sway, distance and direction traveled by Center of Force (CoF) is measured with HR Mat VersaTek System. | 6 weeks | |
| Secondary | Sway analysis: COF variability (cm) | Sway is the oscillating movement of the body, while posture is the relative alignment and orientation of the segments of the body. Sway analysis is a systematic assessment of the readiness and stability of the human body to achieve and maintain equilibrium. Area and direction of sway, elliptical pattern of sway, distance and direction traveled by Center of Force (CoF) is measured with HR Mat VersaTek System. | 6 weeks | |
| Secondary | Sway analysis: COF A-P excursion (cm) | Sway is the oscillating movement of the body, while posture is the relative alignment and orientation of the segments of the body. Sway analysis is a systematic assessment of the readiness and stability of the human body to achieve and maintain equilibrium. Area and direction of sway, elliptical pattern of sway, distance and direction traveled by Center of Force (CoF) is measured with HR Mat VersaTek System. | 6 weeks | |
| Secondary | Sway analysis: COF L-R excursion (cm) | Sway is the oscillating movement of the body, while posture is the relative alignment and orientation of the segments of the body. Sway analysis is a systematic assessment of the readiness and stability of the human body to achieve and maintain equilibrium. Area and direction of sway, elliptical pattern of sway, distance and direction traveled by Center of Force (CoF) is measured with HR Mat VersaTek System. | 6 weeks | |
| Secondary | Thickness of the diaphragm muscle's belly | The diameter of the diaphragm muscle is assessed by B-mode ultrasound examination using Zonare Z. One Ultrasound System. | 6 weeks | |
| Secondary | Vibration Sense Testing | Tuning fork is used to evaluate the deep sensation. | 6 weeks | |
| Secondary | Pulse wave velocity | Pulse wave velocity is measured with Arteriograph. | 6 weeks | |
| Secondary | Augmentation index | Augmentation index is measured with Arteriograph | 6 weeks |
