Conference Object Citation Count: 0The Association Between BODEx Index and Activities of Daily Living, Occupational Performance, Psychosocial Status and Health Related Quality of Life in Patients with COPD(European Respiratory Soc Journals Ltd, 2020) Karadüz, Beyza Nur; Calik-Kutukcu, Ebru; Oksuz, Cigdem; Saglam, Melda; Inal-Ince, Deniz; Vardar-Yagli, Naciye; Coplu, Lutfi[No Abstract Available]Conference Object Citation Count: 0A comparison of arm exercise capacity and activities of daily living between well-controlled asthma patients with and without severe fatigue during daily life(European Respiratory Soc Journals Ltd, 2021) Karadüz, Beyza Nur; Calik-Kutukcu, Ebru; Cakmak, Aslihan; Ince, Deniz Inal; Vardar-Yagli, Naciye; Saglam, Melda; Karakaya, Gul[No Abstract Available]Article Citation Count: 5Daily living activities, exercise capacity, cognition, and balance in COPD patients with and without frailty(Springer London Ltd, 2022) Kagiali, Sezen; Inal-Ince, Deniz; Cakmak, Aslihan; Calik-Kutukcu, Ebru; Saglam, Melda; Vardar-Yagli, Naciye; Coplu, LutfiBackground Information on the interaction between frailty and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is limited. Aims This study aimed to compare activities of daily living (ADL), exercise capacity, balance, and cognition in COPD patients with and without frailty. Methods Twenty frail and 28 non-frail COPD patients aged 55 years and over were included. Frailty was determined according to Fried et al. Dyspnea was evaluated using the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale. Respiratory and peripheral muscle strength were measured. Functional capacity was assessed using a 6-min walk test (6MWT); ADL performance was evaluated using the Glittre ADL test. The balance was evaluated using the functional reach test (FRT). Cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Evaluation (MoCA) Test. Quality of life was measured using the COPD Assessment Test (CAT). Results The mMRC and CAT scores were higher in the frail patients as compared with the non-frail patients (p < 0.05). The maximal inspiratory pressure, handgrip strength, 6MWT distance, and FRT score were lower in the frail patients as compared with the non-frail patients (p < 0.05). The duration for the Glittre ADL test was longer in the frail patients than the non-frail patients (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between MoCA scores between groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions Frail COPD patients have increased dyspnea perception, impaired muscle strength, and functional capacity, ADL performance, balance, and quality of life. Whether pulmonary rehabilitation programs for patients with frail COPD need to be adapted with new rehabilitation strategies, including components of frailty, needs further investigation.Article Citation Count: 5Deviations of body functions and structure, activity limitations, and participation restrictions of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health model in children with cystic fibrosis and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis(Wiley, 2020) Arıkan, Hülya; Arikan, Hulya; Calik-Kutukcu, Ebru; Kerem-Gunel, Mintaze; Saglam, Melda; Inal-Ince, Deniz; Ozcelik, UgurBackground To the best of our knowledge, there is no study in the literature investigating the extrapulmonary outcomes of children with non-cystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis and CF under the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the children with CF and non-CF bronchiectasis using the ICF model. Materials and Methods Children with CF, non-CF bronchiectasis, and healthy counterparts were evaluated (20 participants in each group) according to the ICF items in domain b (body functions), domain s (body structures), and domain d (activities and participation). The pulmonary functions, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength tests, and posture analysis were carried out for domain b. For domain d, however, the Glittre-activities of daily living test and Pediatric Outcome Data Collection were used. Results Muscle strength of shoulder abductors and hip extensors in children with CF was significantly lower than healthy children and adolescents (P < .05). The severity of lateral and posterior postural abnormalities in children with CF and non-CF bronchiectasis was higher than those of healthy children (P < .05). Among the patient groups, global function, sports/physical function, expectations, transfers/basic mobility, and pain/comfort were the most affected participation dimensions (P < .05). Conclusions This study highlights the need for comprehensive up-to-date evaluation methods according to the ICF model for understanding rehabilitation requirements in CF and non-CF bronchiectasis in different age groups.Conference Object Citation Count: 0Energy Expenditure and Muscle oxygenation at Glittre Activities of Daily Living Test in Cystic Fibrosis with and without Airway Obstruction(European Respiratory Soc Journals Ltd, 2020) Arıkan, Hülya; Tekerlek, Haluk; Arikan, Hulya; Saglam, Melda; Vardar-Yagli, Naciye; Calik-Kutukcu, Ebru; Ince, Deniz Inal[No Abstract Available]Article Citation Count: 1Levels of Physical Activity and Physical Fitness in Pediatric Pacemaker Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study(Springer, 2020) Teberl, Sena; Saglam, Melda; Ertugrul, Ilker; Vardar-Yagli, Naciye; Cakmak, Aslihan; Calik-Kutukcu, Ebru; Karagoz, TevfikChildren with heart diseases have reduced physical activity (PA) levels relative to their peers, which in turn increases cardiovascular risk. To the best of our knowledge, physical fitness and objectively measured PA levels have not been previously studied in children with pacemakers. We evaluated PA levels and physical fitness in pediatric pacemaker patients compared to their healthy peers. Twenty-eight pediatric patients with pacemakers (15 female, 13 male; mean age 13.43 +/- 3.68 years) and 24 healthy subjects (14 female, 10 male; mean age 13.08 +/- 3.67 years) were included. Physical fitness was assessed using the Munich Fitness Test (MFT). SenseWear Armband metabolic Holter device was used to record the PA for 7 consecutive days. MFT total and sub-parameter scores were significantly lower in the patient group (p < 0.05). Patients' total and active energy expenditure, PA level, total distance, number of steps, and vigorous PA were significantly lower than those of healthy children (p < 0.05). Sedentary activity and light, moderate, and very vigorous PA durations were similar in both groups (p > 0.05). Duration of mean moderate to vigorous PA was higher than 60 min/day recommended in PA guidelines in both patients and healthy subjects. These results provide initial data on PA and fitness in children with pacemakers and suggest that physical fitness and activity levels in children with pacemakers are lower than in healthy peers. Appropriate exercise programs may improve PA levels in pediatric pacemaker patients. Awareness of the importance of PA should be raised among the parents and families of these children.Conference Object Citation Count: 0The Validity and Reliability of the 6 Minute Pegboard and Ring Test in Patients With Controlled and Partially Controlled Asthma(European Respiratory Soc Journals Ltd, 2020) Karadüz, Beyza Nur; Karaduz, Beyza Nur; Cakmak, Aslihan; Inal-Ince, Deniz; Vardar-Yagli, Naciye; Saglam, Melda; Karakaya, Gul[No Abstract Available]Article Citation Count: 8Visuomotor reaction time and dynamic balance in children with cystic fibrosis and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis: A case-control study(Wiley, 2020) Dik, Jan; Saglam, Melda; Tekerlek, Haluk; Vardar-Yagli, Naciye; Calik-Kutukcu, Ebru; Inal-Ince, Deniz; Dogru, DenizObjective Extrapulmonary involvement such as balance and reaction time is unclear in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate visuomotor reaction time (VMRT) and dynamic balance in children with CF and non-CF bronchiectasis compared to healthy children. Design/Methods Demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded. All children were evaluated with pulmonary function test (PFT) using a spirometer, incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) for exercise capacity, Fitlight Trainer for VMRT, and functional reach test (FRT) for dynamic balance. Results Fourteen children with CF (10.71 +/- 2.94 years, 7 females), 17 children with non-CF bronchiectasis (12.75 +/- 2.81 years, 8 females), and 21 healthy children (11.36 +/- 3.28 years, 11 females) were included. Children with CF had longer total VMRT (P = .027), poorer FRT performance (P = .001), and shorter ISWT distances (P = .03) compared to the children with non-CF bronchiectasis and controls. Although total VMRT was longest in the CF group, there was no significant difference in mean VMRT among the CF, non-CF bronchiectasis, and control groups (P > .05). Conclusion Dynamic balance and VMRT show greater impairment in children with CF than in children with non-CF bronchiectasis compared to healthy controls. Our findings suggest that VMRT and dynamic balance should be taken into consideration for assessments and exercise programs in pulmonary rehabilitation.
