Clinical Trial Summary

As a result of the study, inspiratory muscle strength, posture and physical performance evaluations of individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease will be made, suggestions will be made to help individual postural smoothness and improve physical performance.

Description:

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a multifaceted disease that results from the interaction between genetic susceptibility and exposure to environmental stimuli. Due to the slow progression and chronic nature of the disease, it creates a growing disease burden on the individual. Considering the data of the Turkish Statistical Institute, the third most common cause of death in Turkey in 2010, 2011 and 2012 was respiratory system diseases. 61.5% of respiratory system deaths in 2012 were due to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Due to the progressive airway obstruction that occurs in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, the level of inspiratory muscle strength is restricted and there is an increasing deterioration in the level of functional performance. However, with increasing age, postural problems can be observed in individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Postural problems such as rounded shoulders, increase in thoracic kyphosis and muscle shortness can be observed especially in patients who start to use the auxiliary respiratory muscles continuously due to inspiratory muscle strength. There are few articles investigating the changes in posture, physical performance and inspiratory muscles with the addition of a chronic disease such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease to the normal aging process. For this reason, a study titled "The effect of respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity on posture and balance in individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease with Different Phenotypes" was planned. As a result of the study, inspiratory muscle strength, posture and physical performance evaluations of individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease will be made, and suggestions will be made to help individual postural smoothness and improve physical performance.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Maximal Inspiratory Pressure	Respiratory muscle strength will be assessed by maximal inspiratory pressure. Values in the normal range indicate normal respiratory muscle strength, low values indicate decreased respiratory muscle strength.	5 minutes
Secondary	Posture Assessment	Posture assessment of individuals will be done with the Spinal Mouse device. Individuals will be asked to distribute their weight equally on both lower extremities as much as possible and to stand symmetrically. The angular deviation between each SPINE will be calculated as an angle. While the high angle of deviation indicates that the posture is bad; A low angle of deviation indicates a good posture	5 minutes
Secondary	Biodex Balance System	Balance assessment will be evaluated with the Biodex Balance System. A high values indicates poor balance, and a low values indicates good balance.	5 minutes
Secondary	Time Up and Go Test	Time Up and Go Test is a balance test that is frequently used to evaluate the functional mobility of individuals. High times indicate impaired functional mobility; low times indicate good functional mobility.	2 minutes
Secondary	Short Physical Performance Test	The physical performance of the lower extremities of the individuals will be evaluated with the Short Physical Performance Test. High values indicate deterioration of physical performance; low values indicate good physical performance.	5 minutes
Secondary	Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment Test	Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease symptoms are assessed with the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Evaluation Test. High values indicate poor health; low values indicate good health	2 minutes
Secondary	Modified Medical Research Council Scale	The breath assessment test will be evaluated with the Modified Medical Research Council Scale. High values indicate high dyspnea; low values indicate low dyspnea.	2 minutes
Secondary	Leicester Cough Questionnaire	The cough related quality of life questionnaire will be assessed by the Leicester Cough Questionnaire. Low values indicate poor quality of life associated with cough; high values indicate good quality of life associated with cough	2 minutes
Secondary	Visual Analog Scale	Pain intensity will be evaluated with a visual analog scale. While high values indicate increased pain intensity; low values indicate low pain intensity	2 minutes
Secondary	Fatigue Severity Scale	Fatigue will be evaluated with the Fatigue Severity Scale. High values indicate increased fatigue severity; lower values indicate lower fatigue severity	2 minutes
