Respiratory Muscle Strength and Aerobic Capacity in Scleroderma

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Scleroderma

In brief

Primary aim of this study was to compare respiratory muscle strength, aerobic capacity, dyspnea, pulmonary function tests and fatigue values with healthy controls. The secondary aim was to evaluate the relationship between respiratory muscle strength and other parameters in these patients and to examine the factors that may affect respiratory muscle strength. Respiratory muscle strength, aerobic capacity, respiratory function tests and fatigue will be evaluated
