Brief Summary

Supported or unsupported arm activities are widely used in all activities of daily living. 6 PBRT is a valid, reliable, useful, practical and easy-to-apply test that evaluates unassisted arm endurance in patients with COPD, asthmatics, and healthy individuals. Studies have recently been conducted showing reference values for 6 PBRT in various populations. 6 Normative values and reference range for PBRT are not available for various ethnicities, including the Turkish population. Therefore, this study aimed to find reference values for 6 PBRT in the Turkish young and middle-aged individuals.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Unsupported Arm Exercise Capacity and Arm Function/Endurance

  It will be evaluated with the '6 minute Pegboard and Ring Test-6PRT'. During the test, the patient is asked to sit in front of a pegboard and move as many rings as possible from the two lower holes to the two upper holes, using both hands simultaneously, for 6 minutes. Before the test, participants get used to the test by wearing a few rings. Standardized encouragement is given every minute during the test. The number of rings carried during 6 minutes constitutes the final score. Before and after the test, heart rate and oxygen saturation with pulse oximetry, dyspnea, general fatigue and arm fatigue perception with modified Borg scale are questioned. For the validity of the test, the test will be repeated in the same patient with one week intervals under the same conditions.

  50 minute

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Arm length of both sides and the arm and forearm circumferences of the dominant arm

  1 day
