Brief summary: The aim of this study is to determine the factors affecting falls in patients with COPD.

Detailed description: The aim of this study is to determine the factors affecting falls in patients with COPD. In accordance with the purposes, at least 100 patients with COPD who are 45-80 years old and clinically stable for four weeks will be included. Tests and questionnaires will be used in order to determine the severity of disease. Lung function test and respiratory muscle strength will be performed. Six Minute Walk Test and Six Minute Pegboard and Ring test will be performed with an armband that measures energy expenditure for functional exercise capacity for functional exercise capacity. To evaluate posture, the Corbin Postural Assessment Scale will be used. Hand grip test, periphreal muscle strength test, Time up and go test and One minute sit to stand test will be performed. International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form (IPAQ) will be used to determine physical activity level. Mini- Besttest and Activity-specific Balance Confidence Scale were used to determine fall risk. According to the results to be obtained factors affecting falls will be determined in patients with COPD. It will guide professional working in this field.

* Willing to participate in the study,
* Having COPD classified as stage 1-2-3-4 according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) system,
* Being clinically stable for the past 4 weeks.

Exclusion Criteria for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Group;

* Having a history of lung cancer, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, and/or lung surgery,
* Having any neurological, neuromuscular, vestibular, or cardiac disease that could affect the measurements,
