Brief Summary

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

The literature does not provide sufficient information on the evaluation of frailty, handgrip strength, physical activity, kinesiophobia, and fatigue in elderly individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and asymptomatic elderly individuals. Additionally, there is a gap in the literature regarding the impact of COPD on these parameters in geriatric individuals diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease . To fill this gap in the literature and to establish treatment approaches based on the results of parameters studied in elderly individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in future studies.

Detailed Description

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

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a prevalent condition among the elderly population, considered a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by chronic inflammatory responses associated with harmful particles or gases in the airways and lungs, resulting in persistent airflow limitation that is both preventable and treatable . While cough and sputum are reported as clinical symptoms in COPD cases, the most prominent clinical symptom is dyspnea. Age-related physiological changes and frailty lead to a decrease in levels of physical activity. The resulting deconditioning from reduced physical activity causes a decline in ventilation quality, creating a vicious cycle that progressively exacerbates dyspnea. This study involves the comparison of individuals diagnosed with COPD with asymptomatic geriatric individuals. Its aim is to examine the effects of COPD on frailty, handgrip strength, physical activity, kinesiophobia, and fatigue.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

MMSE Test

Intervention Type OTHER

Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), is a brief mental test used to assess individuals' cognitive functions. This test evaluates basic cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, calculation, language, orientation, and problem-solving. MMSE is commonly used for monitoring and assessing mild cognitive impairments, dementia, and other neurological conditions. This test is typically scored out of 30, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function.

PASE Test

Intervention Type OTHER

The PASE test stands for "Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly." This scale is used to assess the physical activities undertaken by elderly individuals in their daily lives. The PASE test allows for the evaluation of both daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and household chores, as well as exercise routines. It is used to determine the level of physical activity in elderly individuals and support the process of healthy aging.

The PRISMA-7 Frailty Scale

Intervention Type OTHER

The PRISMA-7 Frailty Scale is a tool used to assess the level of frailty in elderly individuals. This scale evaluates signs of frailty such as physical activity, fatigue, weight loss, and difficulties with vision and hearing. PRISMA-7 is employed in determining the risk of frailty in the elderly and aids in identifying appropriate treatment and support methods.

TAMPA Test

Intervention Type OTHER

The TAMPA test, abbreviated from "Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia," is a scale used to assess fears related to pain. This scale is employed to evaluate the fear of pain and avoidance behaviors associated with it. By measuring individuals' attitudes and fears towards pain, the TAMPA test helps identify their emotional and behavioral responses in this area.

(JAMAR) Muscle Test

Intervention Type OTHER

The JAMAR Muscle Test is a widely used clinical assessment tool for evaluating hand grip strength. It involves using a device called a dynamometer to measure the force exerted by a person's hand when squeezing the instrument. This test provides valuable information about an individual's upper body strength, which can be important in various medical and rehabilitative contexts. The JAMAR Muscle Test is often utilized in physical therapy, sports medicine, and other healthcare fields.

Fatigue Severity Scale

Intervention Type OTHER

The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) is a self-report questionnaire used to assess the severity of fatigue in individuals. It consists of nine items that measure the impact of fatigue on various aspects of daily life, such as physical functioning, motivation, and mental clarity. The FSS is commonly used in clinical settings and research studies to quantify the level of fatigue experienced by individuals with various medical conditions, including chronic illnesses, neurological disorders, and mental health conditions. It provides valuable information for healthcare professionals in understanding and managing fatigue-related symptoms.

Asymptomatic Patients

Not having a diagnosis of COPD and being over 65 years old and not having any communication problems.
