About

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a restrictive lung disease characterized by impaired lung function, exercise limitation and skeletal muscle dysfunction. There is limited data on skeletal muscle function in ILD, most of which are focused on the lower limb muscles. The aim of this study were to evaluated the change of pectoralis muscle strength and relationship of pulmonary function with pectoralis muscle strength.

Full description

This study consisted of intervention and control groups. Thirty one patients with ILD were included in the patient's group and 37 healthy volunteers in the control group. All participants were selected from the geriatric population. Demographic and cardiopulmonary physiotherapy assessment of all participants were performed. Lung function test, maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure and pectoralis muscle strength were measured in participants of both groups. All measurements were performed once.
