The purpose of this review was to identify impaired postural control sub-components in people with COPD and summarize their characteristics. The results showed potential impairments in most of the sub-components, with heterogeneous characteristics for each sub-component. Reduced postural control may be associated with difficulties in activities of daily living (ADL).
Purpose: Impairment of postural control is common in people with COPD. However, the precise characteristics of this alteration are not clearly known. The Systems Framework for Postural Control which define postural control sub-components, represents an interesting tool to explore this field. The main aim of this review was to identify which postural control sub-components are impaired in people with COPD and to summarise characteristics for each sub-component. A secondary aim was to precise the relation between postural control and activities of daily living (ADL). Materials and methods: A scoping review was conducted, according to the JBI methodology. Medline, Cochrane Library, Scielo, Google Scholar, OpenGrey, and HAL were searched from inception to May 2022. The search was performed in English and French. Results: Eighty-nine articles were included. There was evidence of a potential impairment for most of the postural control sub-components. Characteristics of every sub-component alteration were heterogeneous. Reduced postural control could be associated with difficulties in ADL. Conclusions: People with COPD may have impairment in a wide range of postural control sub-components. Further research is needed to clarify if a common pattern of modification exits for this alteration and to precise the link with ADL.
