Brief Summary

This study is conducted on the evaluation of balance, physical activity, functional capacity and activities of daily living in frail elderly individuals with COPD.

Conditions

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)

Keywords

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease); fragility; geriatric

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Berg balance scale(BDO)

  The Berg balance scale (BDO) is a scale with 14 instructions and a score of 0-4 for each instruction by observing the patient's performance. 0 points are given when the patient is unable to perform the activity at all, while 4 points are given when the patient completes the activity independently. The highest score is 56, with 0-20 points indicating a balance disorder, 21-40 points indicating the presence of an acceptable balance, and 41-56 points indicating the presence of a good balance.

  eight months

• Two-minute walk Test

  It is recommended that the area where the test will be performed is a corridor with a flat and hard floor of 30 meters long. The goal is to walk the maximum distance he can walk in 2 minutes if he has a helper device he uses. If you have shortness of breath or fatigue, you are told to slow down and stop and then start again when you feel ready.

• Physical activity scale for the elderly (PASE)

  The survey assesses the physical activity of older individuals over the past week and includes components of leisure, housework, and work-related physical activity. Never, rarely (1-2 days/week), sometimes (3-4 days/week) and often (5-7 days/week), while the duration of activities is classified as: Less than 1 hours, 1-2 hours to 2-4 hours and more than 4 hours.

  eight months

• Saint George Respiratory Survey

  A test that assesses health-related quality of life specific to individuals with respiratory diseases. questions 50 items divided into 3 areas: symptoms (8 items), activities (16 items), effects of the disease (26 items). The 3 sections of the test are scored separately and the total score is calculated. The scores vary from 0-100-0. A score of zero indicates normal and a score of 100 indicates the worst state of health.

  eight months

• Modified Medical Research Council scale(MMRC)

  The MMRC (modified Medical Research Council scale) is a scale scored between 0 and 4 based on various factors that produce a dyspnea sensation. Zero points only shorten my breath during heavy exercise; 4 points I can't leave the house because of my shortness of breath or I have shortness of breath while getting dressed and undressed

  eight months

• Frail fragility scale

  Proven to be an effective method of vulnerability detection. The patient's fatigue status, resistance, mobility, weight loss and other diseases were questioned and allowed to evaluate. The FRAIL scale, which consists of 5 items, scores 0 1-2 or 1 based on the patients' response and is evaluated as non-frail, 0 points pre-frail and \>2 points fragile.
