Effect of Game Based Approach on Oxygenation, Functional Capacity and Quality of Life in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Clinical Trial

Official title: Effect of Game Based Approach on Oxygenation, Functional Capacity and Quality of Life in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Impaired pulmonary function, decreased physical activity, functional capacity and depending on these factors are reported in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia in recent studies. The purpose of this study to evaluate the effects of game based approach on pulmonary function, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with primary ciliary dykinesia.

Clinical Trial Description

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder characterized by congenital structural abnormalities and impairment of respiratory function. Mucociliary clearance is affected by disorders in the structure and movement of cilia. That causes repeated infections in the upper and lower respiratory tract.In addition to mucociliary effects and impaired lung function, it is thought that there may be a decrease in respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity. One of the factors affecting functional capacity is the level of physical activity. For these reasons, the management of the respiratory system in patients with PCD is very important. In addition to airway clearence techniques, approaches to increase physical activity are also important. It was thought that severe physical activity could be an important determinant of cardiopulmonary functional capacity in patients with mild to moderate PCD. The level of physical activity is known to be associated with quality of life.

In literature no study investigated the effects of game based approach on oxygenation, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with PCD. Game based approach is a new method lead to increase physical activity. In literature there is no study investigated the effects of game based approach on oxygenation, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with PCD. ;
