Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of breathing exercises and postural exercises via telerehabilitation on respiratory parameters, posture, and quality of life in young adults with asthma.

Detailed Description

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

12 young adult (18-25 years old) individuals diagnosed with asthma participated in our study (all female). All of the participants are University students.

Participants included in the study were evaluated with Asthma Control Test, Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (short form) via Google Forms; Sit to Stand Test, Respiratory Rate per Minute and Oxygen Saturation were assessed at Yeditepe University Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Laboratory both at baseline and at the end of the 5th week. Breathing and postural exercises were given to the participants for the duration of 5 weeks.
