Exercise Capacity, Muscle Oxygenation, and Physical Activity Between Patients With Interstitial Lung Disease
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD), Healthy Individuals, Exercise Capacity, Muscle Oxygenation, Physical Activity Level
In brief
Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a group of chronic respiratory diseases that cause significant mortality and morbidity worldwide. Although there are studies in the literature comparing different lung disease groups with healthy individuals, it has been determined that there is no study comparing the exercise capacity, muscle oxygenation, physical activity level, respiratory functions, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, inspiratory muscle endurance, quality of life and sleep quality of individuals diagnosed with ILD with healthy individuals.
