Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, a respiratory disease characterized by chronic airflow limitation that is not completely reversible.

Impaired pulmonary functions, decreased exercise capacity and quality of life and increased dyspnea perception is prevalent in patients with acute exacerbations of COPD.It was demonstrated exercise training has beneficial effects in patients with acute exacerbations of COPD.

The purpose of this study to evaluate the effects of chair-based exercise training on exercise capacity, respiratory functions, dyspnea, balance, depression anxiety and quality of life in COPD patients in acute exacerbation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Acute exacerbations of COPD are generally defined as events in the natural course of the disease characterized by a change in the patient's initial dyspnea, cough or sputum beyond normal daily variations. The main consequences of COPD in acute exacerbation are increased mortality, deterioration in health-related quality of life, faster decline in lung function, marked reduction in physical activity and worsening of peripheral muscle weakness, which have a direct impact on patients' health. Although exacerbations are diagnosed based on respiratory symptoms, there is evidence that they have systemic consequences, including a detrimental effect on skeletal muscle function, exercise tolerance and quality of life.

Chair-based exercise training is defined as a structured and progressive exercise program applied by trainers that provides stability using a chair, which is a part of exercise training for the elderly. It is thought that it would be beneficial to study such an exercise program, since COPD patients in acute exacerbation have less mobilization during hospitalization.

In a limited number of studies, some inconsistencies were observed in the exercises of patients with acute exacerbation of COPD. Studies can therefore now focus on investigating comparisons between different intervention lengths, session durations and frequencies, and intensities of exercise training. For this reason, in our planned study, we will investigate the effects of chair-based exercise training in COPD patients in acute exacerbation. There is no study in the literature investigating the effects of chair-based exercise training in COPD patients in acute exacerbation. For this reason, our study will provide important information support to the literature.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treatment group, Chair-Based Exercise Training

Treatment group will receive chair-based exercise training. Chair-based exercise training consisting of 20 different exercises will be applied in 2-3 sets with an average of 8-15 repetitions. Rest between sets will average 45-60 seconds.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Treatment group, Chair-Based Exercise Training

Intervention Type OTHER

The weights of the elastic bands to be used in the exercises will be determined by the physiotherapist according to the abilities and development of the participants.

The intensity of the exercise will be adjusted according to the dyspnea or fatigue patients feel according to the Modified Borg Scale.

During the exercises, heart rate and oxygen saturation will be measured with a pulse oximeter, and blood pressure will be measured with a sphygmomanometer.

Chair-based exercise training will be applied to the patients every day they are hospitalized.

Control group, Breathing exercise

Control group will receive breathing exercises.

Group Type OTHER

Control group, Breathing exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Breathing exercise will be applied to the patients every day they are hospitalized.
