• Description: It is well established that balance impairments which can lead to higher incidence of falls were confirmed in patients with COPD. However, there are not enough studies which are focused on the effect of fatigue on postural control in these patients. This study aimed to investigate bipedal postural control in patients with COPD before and after maximal exercise test.
