Abstract

Introduction: to investigate the impact of pulmonary rehabilitation on exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with chronic lung disease

Materials-method: Patients with chronic lung disease who received pulmonary rehabilitation pre-and post-exercise capacity at incrimental shuttle walking test or 6-minute walking test, quality of life tests were evaluated. Patients received upper and lower extremity strengthening exercises, cycling, treadmill, respiratory exercise training accompanied by a physical therapist, Patients were taken to a total of 2 days per week for 8 week program. The nutritional status of patients, oxygen and noninvasive mechanical ventilation support were evaluated.

Results: 14 chronic obstrictive pulmonary disease(copd),9 chronic lung disease other than COPD( 4bronchiectasis, 3 interstitial lung disease,2kyphoscoliosis )with median age of 61.5 and mean 61.46 years were evaluated.Improvement on MMRC mmrc dyspnea scale, shuttle walking test (mean 57m), epworth sleepiness scale and 11 point regression on quality of life questionnaire were detected., There were no significant differences in terms of the outcomes of COPD and non COPD patients who received pulmonary rehabilitation.

Conclution: COPD patients are more frequently to guide topulmonary rehabilitation . but non COPD patients with decresased exercise capacity has shown significant effects for the perception of dyspnoea and exercise capacity. It is important to increase awereness that with the increasing number of patients with chronic lung diseases pulmonary rehabilitation is important in addition to the medical treatment in our country.
