Details and patient eligibility

About

The aim of this study is to comparatively evaluate the parameters of balance, cognitive skills, hand grip strength, reaction time, quality of life and respiratory functions in elderly and healthy peers individuals.

Full description

Deterioration of airway patency, respiratory functions, experiencing shortness of breath that limits functional capacity, impairments in health-related quality of life, balance, cognitive skills, hand grip strength and reaction time parameters make physiotherapy approaches important in the treatment of bronchiectasis.
