Assessment" in the classification of chronic obstructive pulmonary  </span> <span style="font-family:’Times New Roman’;font-size:10pt;">disease (COPD) was proposed as a new method
by The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive  </span> <span style="font-family:’Times New Roman’;font-size:10pt;">Pulmonary Disease (GOLD). The aim of this
study was to evaluate exercise capacity, and muscle  </span> <span style="font-family:’Times New Roman’;font-size:10pt;">strength (respiratory and peripheral
muscle strength) between two groups (Group B and C) of the  </span> <span style="font-family:’Times New Roman’;font-size:10pt;">new GOLD combined COPD assessment in this
study. </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’;" xml:lang="en-us"> <b>Methods </b>: Patients were categorized into
group B (n=18) and C (n=18) according to the GOLD  </span> <span style="font-family:’Times New Roman’;font-size:10pt;">combined COPD assessment. Patients’
exercise capacity (the six-minute walk test [6MWT]) and  </span> <span style="font-family:’Times New Roman’;font-size:10pt;">the six-minute pegboard and ring test
[6PBRT]), respiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory  </span> <span style="font-family:’Times New Roman’;font-size:10pt;">pressure [MIP] and maximal expiratory
pressure [MEP]), and peripheral muscle strength (hand-grip  </span> <span style="font-family:’Times New Roman’;font-size:10pt;">and knee extensor strength) were assessed. </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’;" xml:lang="en-us"> <b>Results: </b> The MEP value was significantly
higher in group B than in group C (p=0.024). Other values  </span> <span style="font-family:’Times New Roman’;font-size:10pt;">(6MWT distance, 6PBRT score, MIP values,
and peripheral muscle strength) were not significantly  </span> <span style="font-family:’Times New Roman’;font-size:10pt;">different between the two groups

comprehensive assessment is very important to evaluate  </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’;" xml:lang="en-us">patients with COPD. The GOLD spirometry
measures are not solely enough, symptoms and  </span> <span style="font-family:’Times New Roman’;font-size:10pt;">exacerbation
history must be evaluated. </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:200%;"> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us"> </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Türkiye Fizyoterapistler Derneği}
