About
The main purpose of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) rehabilitation applications is to increase the functional capacity of the patients and improve the quality of life in daily living activities (ADL). Therefore, the investigators planned the study to determine the influence of ADL and related factors in severe COPD.
GOLD C and D COPD patients admitted to Bezmialem Vakif University Faculty of Health Sciences Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Pulmonary Rehabilitation Application and Research Laboratory will be included in this study on a voluntary basis. Individuals who have experienced exacerbations of COPD in the last 6 weeks, have comorbidities affecting ambulation and have cognitive impairment will be excluded. Physical and sociodemographic characteristics of all participants will be recorded. Spirometric measurement will used to evaluate pulmonary functions, London Chest Activities Scale (LCADL) will used to evaluate daily living activities, six minute walking test (6MWT) will used to evaluate functional capacity, and mouth pressure will measured to evaluate respiratory muscle strength. (MIP: maximal inspiratory pressure, MEP: maximal expiratory pressure). Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) for assessing quality of life, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) for assessing physical activity, COPD Assessment Test (CAT) for symptom assessment, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) for anxiety and depression assessment will be applied. SPSS 22.0 package program will be used in statistical analysis. For descriptive statistics, mean ± standard deviation values will be calculated and Pearson correlation test will be used in correlation analysis. p <0.05 will be the level of significance.
