Brief Summary

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways. Childhood asthma is quite common. The airway responds unusually to triggers. There are episodes of recurrent wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and/or coughing that may change in intensity over time. Sudden contraction of airway smooth muscle may be reversible. It is characterized by common but also variable airflow obstruction. With the development of today's technology age, tele-assessment techniques allow professionals to remotely collect real-time data about the development of patients. It has been shown that video conferencing is a feasible and reliable method for evaluating patients with neurological symptoms. In a systematic study examining 41 articles investigating telehealth services and satisfaction; The findings show that patients are generally satisfied with the use of telemedicine. He argues that telemedicine is a low-cost model, increases access to health services, saves time, eliminates the need for travel, facilitates remote patient care and follow-up, and also improves health outcomes and/or quality. Therefore, the aim of our study; To compare the findings obtained with tele-assessment and clinical face-to-face evaluations on a scientific basis, where tele-applications are developing rapidly and their effectiveness has been proven by research, and according to the data to be obtained, an idea about the compatibility between remote evaluation of some parameters of asthmatic children such as physical fitness and flexibility, balance and face-to-face evaluations. is to own. In different situations where patients cannot reach the clinic (remote distance, pandemic, etc.), the evaluations to be made using the remote tele-assessment method can reflect the objective data and the continuity of the patient-health professional relationship can be maintained.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• FİTNESSGRAM (a)Sit and lie down test with back support:

  The test, which measures physical fitness parameters, can be applied to 5 inpatients. Appropriate cut-off points are specified in the application guide. (a)Sit and lie down test with back support: While sitting, the person extends his foot and leans on the bench and bends the other lower extremity. The hands are stretched forward four times in a row and the fourth distance is recorded.

  one day

• FİTNESSGRAM (b)Trunk Extension-extension test:

  (b)Trunk Extension-extension test: The person lies face down with the hands under the thighs. He lifts his body twice, looking at a coin. In the second, the distance between the chin and the cushion is recorded.

  one day

• FİTNESSGRAM (c)Trunk Flexion flexion test:

  (c)Trunk Flexion flexion test: The person lies on his back with the knees bent and touches the fixed band on the sides at hand level with the fingertips. Lifts the trunk in a repeat rhythm (every three seconds). It does not move from the lane while rubbing its hands. The number of repetitions performed correctly in accordance with the rhythm is noted.

  one day

• FİTNESSGRAM (d)Push-up test:

  (d)Push-up test: The person is face down and the hands are shoulder-width apart. The chest moves up and down, with the elbows locked and unlocked (every three seconds) without bending the body. The number of repetitions is noted.

  one day

• FİTNESSGRAM (e) Progressive aerobic cardiovascular endurance test (PACER):

  (e) Progressive aerobic cardiovascular endurance test (PACER): The set time to reach 20 meters is 9 seconds. If the rhythm cannot be kept up or the boundary line is not reached before the beep twice, the test is stopped, and the number of laps is recorded.

  one day

• Pediatric Reach Test
