Brief Summary

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

Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a heterogeneous group of chronic respiratory diseases that cause significant mortality and morbidity worldwide, characterized by diffuse inflammation in the lung parenchyma and vascular structures, can progress to fibrosis, have known or unknown etiology, and can develop secondary to systemic autoimmune connective tissue diseases other than diseases where the primary pathology is in the lung. The 6-minute peg-board and ring test, which was first developed to determine the upper extremity exercise capacity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, is an exercise test used to evaluate upper extremity functional exercise capacity in different lung diseases. It has been determined that there is no study on the validity and reliability of this test in individuals with ILD.

Detailed Description

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

Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are chronic respiratory diseases that cause significant mortality and morbidity worldwide. The 6-minute peg-board and ring test, which was first developed to determine the upper extremity exercise capacity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, is an exercise test used to evaluate upper extremity functional exercise capacity in different lung diseases. It has been determined that there is no study on the validity and reliability of this test in individuals with ILD. In this patient group, the upper extremity muscles are seriously affected. In addition, serious desaturation develops during exercise tests that require walking and the use of larger muscle groups, such as the 6-minute walking test. For this reason, upper extremity aerobic exercise capacity gains importance in this patient group. There are no studies in the literature on the validity and reliability of 6-PBRT in patients with ILD, although its validity and reliability have been studied in different patient groups such as COPD, PAH, and asthma. The primary aim of our study was to determine the validity and reliability of the 6-minute peg-board and ring test for patients with interstitial lung disease.

The study will be conducted between June 2023 and February 2025 on patients diagnosed with interstitial lung disease who were referred to the Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Unit of the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Medicine, Gazi University for rehabilitation by the Department of Chest Diseases, Faculty of Medicine, Gazi University. Data from patients who have been followed up will be analyzed retrospectively.
