Patients diagnosed with COPD who applied to the Pulmonary Diseases Department of Kırıkkale
Yüksek İhtisas Hospital will be included in the study. The aim of our study: It is aimed to
investigate the effect of fear of movement due to dyspnea on respiratory function, muscle
strength, physical performance and balance in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients.

exclusion criteria and volunteer to participate in the study will be included. The number of
patients to be included in our study will be determined by power analysis.

pressure measuring device.
2. Peripheral Muscle Strength Evaluation: Quadriceps muscle strength will be evaluated
using a dynomometer.

fitness levels of individuals.
