Brief Summary

It is a prospective randomized controlled trial. In this project, it is aimed to examine the effect of telerehabilitation-based instrumental and noninstrumental respiratory exercise program on lung capacities. For this reason;

• Contributing to the literature by comparing the effect of breathing exercises with and without instruments on lung capacities,
• It is aimed to be a resource for the effective use of respiratory exercise, which has a high effect on lung capacities, in treatment. In addition, with the data obtained, it is aimed to decide and apply the exercise that is more effective in the treatment of respiratory diseases quickly. Socio-demographic data will be questioned by using the Demographic Data Form; participants, age, gender, height, weight, marital status, smoking and alcohol use, presence of disease, whether they are included in a different exercise program, dyspnea, severe nausea and vomiting. The cases will be randomized into two groups: non-instrumented breathing exercises group and instrumented breathing exercises group. The physical activity status of the individuals participating in the study will be questioned using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) at the beginning and end of the study. Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) will be used to measure the lung capacity of the participants. Instrumented breathing exercises will be performed for 8 weeks, 2 days a week with the telerehabilitation program, 3 days a week as a home program, 5 days a week in total, starting with 1 set of 15 repetitions and the program will progress with progression. Diaphragmatic breathing and thoracic extension exercises will be applied as non-instrumented breathing exercises. For 8 weeks, 2 days a week with telerehabilitation method, 3 days a week as a home program, 5 days a week in total, 1 set of 10 repetitions for each exercise and the program will progress with progression. At the end of 8 weeks, all evaluations of the participants in both groups will be repeated.

Interventions

Non-Instrumental breathing exercise group OTHER

Before starting the exercises, participants will be told about diaphragmatic breathing exercises, maximum inspiratory holding technique and thoracic expansion exercises through the Zoom program by telerehabilitation method, and people will be checked by the physiotherapist who manages the program during the practice. The program will last for 8 weeks and will be planned to be implemented 5 days a week in total, including 2 days of telerehabilitation, 3 days of home program. The participant will be asked to start the exercises in a reclining position with his back to the chair. He will be asked to place his right hand on his upper abdomen and his left hand on the upper side of his chest. In each session, the exercises will be performed with 1 set of 10 repetitions for each of the diaphragmatic breathing and thoracic expansion exercises and will progress with progression.

Non-Instrumental breathing exercise group

Instrumental breathing exercise group OTHER

The volume-oriented spirometer works with pressure and its indicator changes during breathing. When the participants breathe, the pressure in the tube decreases and the piston of the spirometer rises. The inhaled breath volume is seen at the top of the piston. In our study, participants will be told about the exercises through the Zoom program using the telerehabilitation method, and people will be checked by the responsible physiotherapist who manages the program during the application. The program will last for 8 weeks, 2 days of telerehabilitation, 3 days of home program will be planned to be implemented 5 days a week in total. Participants will be instructed to breathe up to their total lung capacity and maintain continuous inspiration for at least 3 seconds. The exercises will start with 1 set of 15 repetitions and the program will progress with progression.
