Özet

Purpose Upper extremities play an important role in performing of many activities of daily living. Physical and pathological changes limit upper extremity functions in older adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although the 6-minute pegboard and ring test (6PBRT) is a reliable and commonly used method for the assessment of unsupported upper-extremity exercise capacity in patients with COPD, there is lack of evidence about the possible determinants of the 6PBRT score. The study aimed to investigate the possible determinants of the 6PBRT in older adults with COPD.
