Brief Summary:
In our study, the effects of Kinesio Taping (KT), Rigid Taping (RT), Thoracic Mobilization (TM) and Core Stabilization (KS) approaches on respiratory muscle morphology, respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity and quality of life will be examined in stable COPD patients. Study is designed as prospective, single-blinded, randomized-controlled study.
Detailed Description:
The study is planned to compare the effects of different physiotherapy approaches on respiratory muscle morphology, respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity and quality of life in stable COPD patients over 18 years of age.The study is carried out on 65 patients who applied to Muğla Training and Research Hospital with COPD patients. The patients are divided into 5 groups by randomization method. First group, Kinesio Taping group, inhibitory effect on upper trapezius and scalene muscles, facilitator effect on diaphragm and intercostal muscles will be applied. The second group, Rigid Taping group, inhibitory effect on upper trapezius and scalene muscles, facilitator effect on diaphragm and intercostal muscles will be applied. The third group,Thoracic Mobilization group, Modified Active-Passive Thoracic mobilization will be performed according to the patients' conditions. Thoracic Mobilization techniques will be used to improve thoracic mobility in the upper, middle or lower parts of the chest. The fourth group,In Core Stabilization group, five different trunk stabilization exercises will be performed. Fifth group is the control group and no taping was done. A standard treatment program is applied for the individuals in the whole group. Evaluations is made before and after treatment (3 and 6 weeks). Evaluation parameters is respiratory muscle morphology, respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity and quality of life.
The respiratory muscle morphology is measured by the radiologist, and all other measurements and treatments were performed by the physiotherapist. Pulmonary function test will be measured using spirometry, respiratory muscle strength using mouth pressure device, functional exercise capacity using 6-minute walk test, quality of life using Leicester Cough Questionnaire, dyspnea using Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale and, symptoms using COPD Assessment Tests.
The data obtain from the research will be analyzed using the SPSS program. Statistical significance level will be accepted as p\<0.05. In the statistical difference analysis between groups, one-way ANOVA test will be used for parametric data and Kruskal- Wallis test will be used for non-parametric data.
