Comparison of the Effects of Chair-Based Exercise Training on Respiratory Functions, Exercise Capacity and Quality of Life in Patients With Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Treatment group, Chair-Based Exercise Training and Control group, Breathing exercise for Acute Exacerbation of COPD. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
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.

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