No study evaluating body structure functions, activity and participation level based on ICF in lung transplantation has been encountered. In our study, patients with at least 3 months past lung transplantation and without orthopedic and mental problems will be evaluated. It will be made as a single evaluation. The last pulmonary function test results of the patients, comorbidity conditions, fatigue, respiratory quality of life, coronavirus anxiety status, sleep quality, kinesophobia will be evaluated by questionnaires. Lower extremity dynamic balance and mobility will be evaluated with 1 minute sit-to-stand test, timed up and go test. Upper extremity functionality will be evaluated with a 6-minute pegboard and ring test.
