Brief Summary: Introduction and aim Low functionality of respiratory muscles is frequently observed in various diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease cystic fibrosis idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and rheumatological diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis Strengthening the respiratory muscles is a part of the treatment in such disease groups and it has been reported that the quality of life of patients increases with the improvement in the respiratory muscles Stavrou et al In a study published in 2021 they achieved an increase in VO2max and maximum respiratory power in athletes after an exercise program with the AirOFit PRO AirOFit Copenhagen Denmark branded mobile breathing exercise device which they introduced as a new technology However there is no study yet reporting the use of this device in rheumatological diseases

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of personalized breathing exercises with the AirOFit PRO AirOFit Copenhagen Denmark branded mobile breathing exercise device on respiratory muscles and functional exercise capacity as well as on specific outcomes of the disease in patients with ankylosing spondylitis

Hypotheses of the study

a Hypothesis H1 Personalised breathing exercises applied with a mobile respiratory exercise device in patients with ankylosing spondylitis have a positive effect on respiratory capacity and activities of daily living in patients
Detailed Description: Inflammation of the thoracic and costovertebral joints in ankylosing spondylitis causes gradual fusion and ossification over time which adversely affects costal mobility and thoracic expansion In some patients this leads to increased dorsal kyphosis thoracic stiffness and permanent limitation of chest wall motion Expansion and reduced lung volume as a result of mechanical constriction caused by ankylosis of the thoracic joints explains the restrictive breathing pattern in these patients In addition previous studies have shown that the inflammatory process of the disease causes pain and stiffness in the thoracic joints contributing to decreased respiratory function It is thought that breathing exercises that strengthen the inspiratory muscles may prevent or delay complications that may occur due to inspiratory muscle weakness Previous studies in the literature have examined the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training in different disease groups However few studies in patients with ankylosing spondylitis have examined the effect of inspiratory muscle training on pulmonary function and aerobic capacity According to our current knowledge there is no academic study in the international literature using the mobile respiratory exercise device AirOFit PRO AirOFit Copenhagen Denmark for personalised respiratory exercise in any rheumatic disease

According to our current knowledge there is no academic study in the international literature using the AirOFit PRO AirOFit Copenhagen Denmark mobile respiratory exercise device for personalised respiratory exercise in any rheumatic disease This study will be the first study to evaluate the effectiveness of a daily sustainable respiratory exercise programme suitable for home use in rheumatic patients and will be included in the international literature In addition it will be the basis for academic studies that enable long-term follow-up of patients with this mobile application
