Brief Summary

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

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of asynchronously implemented telerehabilitation-supported respiratory physiotherapy and function-oriented trunk stabilization exercises, which have not been previously applied in individuals with RA-IAH.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Teach respiratory exercises and function-focused trunk stabilization exercises to individuals with RA-IAH via online platforms. Subsequently, instructional exercise videos will be delivered to the patients online. The respiratory exercise training will include thoracic expansion and diaphragmatic breathing exercises. The program will consist of a warm-up phase including 10 minutes of trunk stabilization exercises, a 40-minute functional exercise session targeting the upper and lower extremities with trunk stabilization, followed by a cooldown phase including 10 minutes of flexibility exercises involving trunk stabilization. The exercise videos related to these phases will be sent to the participants online. Participants will start the exercises with 6 repetitions and will be encouraged to increase to 8 repetitions as the program progresses. The assigned physiotherapist will contact patients once a week by phone to monitor exercise adherence.
