Brief Summary:
This cross-sectional study aims to investigate to the impairments in body functions and structures, activities and participation restrictions according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) patients.
Detailed Description:
To investigate the impairments in body functions and structures, activities and participation restrictions according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework in patients with COPD, fifty patients with COPD will be included.
The Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea (MMRC) scale and Six-Minute Walking Test (6MWT) will be used for evaluating the how dyspnea limits the patients' daily activities and functional capacity, respectively. Isometric muscle strength will be measured with a handheld dynamometer of quadriceps femoris. Fear of falling will be assessed with Activities-Specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale. The level of dyspnea during daily activities will be assessed with London Chest Activity of Daily Living (LCADL) scale. The global impacts of COPD symptoms on overall health status will be evaluated by The COPD Assessment Test (CAT). Pulmonary function data will be retrieved from the last 1-month clinical records of the COPD patients. Statistical analysis will be performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. Descriptive statistics of continuous variables will be presented with mean, standard deviation (SD), confidence interval (CI) values, and descriptive statistics of categorical variables will be presented with frequency and percentage values. The conformity of the data to the normal distribution will be evaluated with the "Shapiro Wilk Test". According to the results of the analysis, "Pearson correlation test" or "Spearman correlation test" will be used to determine the relationship between dependent variables. The significance level will be set as p\<0.05.
