Clinical Trial Summary

Telerehabilitation applications are a treatment method that uses new technologies. There are examples of doing for many diseases in our country. It is a method used for people living in remote areas and people who cannot complete their treatment in hospitals due to the epidemic. In our study, we will use the telerehabilitation system. In this system, which we will use in people with chronic disease, we aim to see improvement in tests performed in many areas such as physical activity level, respiratory capacity, depression, and anxiety level of patients.

In the study to be performed on 60 patients, 30 people will be control and 30 people will be the experimental group. The experimental group will be treated with a video conferencing method, tailor-made exercise program based on the international physical activity questionnaire level for 30 minutes 3 days a week for 6 weeks. The control group will only be informed with the help of a brochure with a standard exercise program.

The tests we can use in this experiment are as follows: Barthel daily life activities index, beck depression and anxiety scale, ferrans power quality of life index, Charlson comorbidity index, environmental measurements, waist/hip ratio, fatigue severity scale, international physical activity questionnaire. Tests specific to chronic diseases will be applied to patient one to one.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	The Beck Anxiety Inventory	The Beck Anxiety Inventory is a 21-question multiple-choice self-report inventory that is used for measuring the severity of anxiety in children and adults. The questions used in this measure ask about common symptoms of anxiety that the subject has had during the past week (including the day you take it) (such as numbness and tingling, sweating not due to heat, and fear of the worst happening). It is designed for individuals who are of 17 years of age or older and takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete. The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 0 and the maximum score is 63.	2 weeks
Other	MODIFIED FATIGUE IMPACT SCALE	The Modified Fatigue Impact Scale is a modified form of the Fatigue Impact Scale based on items derived from interviews with MS patients concerning how fatigue impacts their lives. This instrument provides an assessment of the effects of fatigue in terms of physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functioning. The full-length MFIS consists of 21 items. The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 0 and the maximum score is 84.	2 weeks
Other	The Fatigue Severity Scale	The Fatigue Severity Scale is a 9-item scale which measures the severity of fatigue and its effect on a person's activities and lifestyle in patients with a variety of disorders. A self-report scale of nine items about fatigue, its severity and how it affects certain activities. the minimum score possible is nine and the highest is 63. The higher the score, the more severe the fatigue is and the more it affects the person's activities. It is simple to understand and takes an average of eight minutes to answer.	2 weeks
Other	Ferrans and Powers quality of life index	The subjective perception of the level of happiness and satisfaction towards the different aspects of life is considered the main determinant in making a positive or negative judgment of the subjectively perceived quality of life. The current generic version of the Ferrans and Powers Quality of Life Index consists of 33 items in each part, which the subjects attribute scores in a satisfaction. The 33 items are distributed into the four dimensions (subscales): Health/functioning (13 items), Social and economic (8 items), Psychological/spiritual (7 items) and Family (5 items). The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 0 and the maximum score is 30.	2 weeks
Other	Chest Circumference Measurement	Standing, it is measured by arms in abduction. It passes through the lower end of the scapula on the back and is measured at the level of the 4th rib.	2 weeks
Other	Waist to Hip Ratio	It is the ratio of waist circumference to hip circumference. By measuring this value for scientific studies, it examines the risk level of potential health problems that individuals may encounter in the future. According to the studies of scientists, it shows quite accurate results about the risk of an individual having a health problem because it shows in which part of the body the excess weight is collected.	2 weeks
Other	INTERNATIONAL PHYSICAL ACTIVITY QUESTIONNAIRE	The International Physical Activity Questionnaires comprises a set of 4 questionnaires.; Long (5 activity domains asked independently) and short (4 generic items) versions for use by either telephone or self-administered methods are available. The purpose of the questionnaires is to provide common instruments that can be used to obtain internationally comparable data on health-related physical activity. 1998 and was followed by extensive reliability and validity testing undertaken across 12 countries (14 sites) . Physical Activity level is determined in 3 categories	2 weeks
Primary	Beck Depression Inventory	The Beck Depression Inventory is a 21-item, self-report rating inventory that measures characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression. Beck Depression Inventory is a 21-question multiple-choice self-report inventory The Beck Depression Inventory takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 0 and the maximum score is 63 . Higher total scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms.	2 weeks
Secondary	Charlson Comorbidity Index	The Charlson Comorbidity Index is a method of categorizing comorbidities of patients. Each comorbidity category has an associated weight (from 1 to 6), based on the adjusted risk of mortality or resource use, and the sum of all the weights results in a single comorbidity score for a patient. A score of zero indicates that no comorbidities were found. The higher the score, the more likely the predicted outcome will result in mortality or higher resource use.	2 weeks
