About

The Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol was first developed for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients and was found to be valid and reliable, but there is no validity and reliability study of the Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol in IPF patients. The purpose of the study is to Examine the Validity and Reliability of the Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) patients.

Full description

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial lung disease characterized by a restrictive type of breathing disorder. In IPF patients, serious limitations occur in the activities of daily living (ADL) of the patients due to dyspnea and fatigue symptoms, therefore it is very important to evaluate the activities of daily living in this patient group. It is recommended to use protocols created from activities frequently used in daily life to evaluate ADL in chronic respiratory patients. Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol is a performance-based objective measurement method based on repetition of daily activities. Participants are asked to perform the activities defined in the protocol at the same speed they do at home, and the completion time of the protocol is recorded. The individual is asked to complete all stations in order from a designated starting line.
