About

There are not enough studies in the literature comparing functional capacity, respiratory functions and muscle strength of IPF patients with healthy individuals. This study aims to compare functional capacity, respiratory functions and muscle strength of IPF patients with healthy individuals.

Enrollment: 24 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Being over 18 years old
• having a clinical, radiological and/or pathological diagnosis of IPF
• volunteering to participate in the study
• not having had a respiratory tract infection in the last month
• not having an accompanying airway disease such as COPD
• being in the stable phase of the disease

Exclusion criteria

• Patients who have had an IPF attack within the last three months and/or are in the acute exacerbation of the disease; who use a walking aid; who have unstable angina or class III-IV heart failure according to the New York Heart Association congestive heart failure classification; who have orthopedic, neuromuscular, neurological and cardiac diseases that may affect walking and balance; who have serious comorbid conditions such as cancer or neoplasm; who have a history of sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, emphysema and/or lung surgery; who have communication problems, mental and cognitive problems, and who cannot adapt to the applied assessment methods will be excluded from the study.
