Clinical Trial Summary

There are no studies in the literature reporting the dyspnea, posture, strength, physical activity, functional mobility and balance in elderly individuals. The aims of this observational study are; 1) to evaluate dyspnea, posture, strength, physical activity, functional mobility and balance in elderly individuals, 2) to reveal the relationships between these parameters of research group.


Description:

The increase in the elderly population brings with it many health problems, especially in older ages. Rates of limitation and disability are increasing in elderly individuals due to chronic diseases. Many of these changes negatively affect their daily living activities. With aging, respiratory muscle strength and respiratory surface area decrease in the cardiopulmonary system. Respiration is negatively affected by the decrease in muscle strength. Postural correctness cannot be easily achieved in elderly individuals due to deterioration in bone, muscle and joint structures. Functional mobility and balance problems are observed with changes in postural control that occur with aging. There are not enough studies in the literature to clarify this issue that evalatues dyspnea, posture, strength, physical activity, functional mobility and balance in elderly individuals. Therefore, the aim of our study is to evaluate dyspnea, posture, strength, physical activity, functional mobility and balance in elderly individuals. Therefore, we aimed to clarify this gap.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Dyspnea score Dyspnea score will be obtained from the Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC) Scale. This scale is a five-item scale based on various physical activities that cause a feeling of shortness of breath (dyspnea). As the score an individual gets from the scale increases, the perception of shortness of breath also increases. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Posture score Posture deviation will be determined according to the deviation score in the joint centers obtained by photographing the posture of the individuals and uploading them to the system. Posture assessment will be made with a mobile application based on the concept of postural analysis with artificial intelligence. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Cough strength Cough strength will be evaluated using a PEFmeter. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Handgrip strength Hand grip strength will be measured using the Jamar hand dynamometer. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Functional mobility score Functional mobility will be evaluated with Chair Stand Test. Higher repetition numbers indicate better physical performance. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Physical activity score Physical activity will be assessed using the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly. Participation in leisure activities, housework activities, and work-related activities are recorded. Higher score indicates better physical activity levels. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Functional Mobility score Functional mobility and balance will be evaluated with Time Up and Go test. The test measures speed during many functional maneuvers such as standing, walking, turning and sitting. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Balance score Balance will be assessed using Berg Balance Scale. The scale consists of 14 items. These items examine activities in which the support area gradually decreases and it becomes difficult to maintain the position. through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary Cognitive function score Cognitive function will be assessed using the Standardized Mini Mental State Test. The maximum score is 30 points. Scores of 23 and lower indicate cognitive dysfunction, scores of 24 and above indicate normal cognitive level. through study completion, an average of 1 year
