Brief Summary

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of core stabilization exercises combined with the patient education program (AEP) and breathing exercises in patients with asthma. Design: A randomized controlled study Setting: Chest diseases clinic of a university hospital. Subjects: The study sample consists of 26-68 years old asthma patients who were diagnosed at least 6 month prior to the study. Interventions: All subjects were included in the asthma education program (AEP) and both groups were trained for diaphragmatic and pursed lip breathing exercises (2times/wk. 6-week duration at clinic). The core stabilization program was applied twice a week for a duration of 6 weeks in TG. Main Measures: Spirometry, maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS), Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire(AQOL), Six-minute walking test(6MWT), Prokin PK200, Italy were used to evaluate feasibility of interventions.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

• Maximum Inspiratory Pressure

  The Micro Medical Micro RPM, England respiratory pressure meter was used to measure respiratory muscle strength

  Six Weeks

• Functional Capacity Test

  The Six Minute Walking Test was used to evaluate functional capacity of volunteers. 6MWT was performed on a 30 meter corridor in the clinic according to American Thoracic Society guidelines. Walking distance was calculated.

  Six Weeks

• Forced vital capacity in 1 second (FEV1)

  Medical International Research Spirodoc® Spiro, Italy brand named spirometry was used to evaluate pulmonary functions of volunteers.

  Six Weeks

• Quality of life

  Asthma Quality of Life Scale (AQOL) was utilized to assess quality of life of participants over two weeks prior to the interview which was validated for the Turkish population.l

  Six Weeks

• Maximum Expiratory Pressure

  The Micro Medical Micro RPM, England respiratory pressure meter was used to measure respiratory muscle strength

  Six Weeks

• Functional Vital Capacity (FVC)

  Medical International Research Spirodoc® Spiro, Italy brand named spirometry was used to evaluate pulmonary functions of volunteers.

  Six Weeks

• Tiffeneau Ratio (FEV1/FVC)

  Medical International Research Spirodoc® Spiro, Italy brand named spirometry was used to evaluate pulmonary functions of volunteers.

  Six Weeks

• Forced Expiratory Flow from 25 % to 75 % of Vital Capacity (FEF25-75)

  Medical International Research Spirodoc® Spiro, Italy brand named spirometry was used to evaluate pulmonary functions of volunteers.

  Six Weeks
