Brief summary
COPD is a common, preventable and treatable disease associated with an increased chronic inflammatory response of the airways and lungs to harmful gases and particles and characterized by progressive airflow restriction, which is usually progressive. Exercise intolerance is one of the most important outcomes of COPD. Dyspnea and leg fatigue are the main symptoms that limit exercise and patients restrict their activity to avoid these disturbing conditions. Exercise training is the most appropriate method for improving exercise tolerance and muscle function. It is considered and recommended by ERS and ATS as an essential component of PR. Endurance training is considered to be one of the most important components of the PR program. Walking, running, cycling, stair climbing, dancing are examples of endurance exercises. Dance-based exercise training; It is an entertaining method that increases physical, functional, cognitive, emotional and social integration. This alternative method has frequently been tried in the literature in the treatment of Parkinson's, cancer and psychiatric diseases and its effects on functional capacity, balance, and quality of life have been demonstrated. The importance of our research; This is the first study to apply dance based exercise training in chronic respiratory diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of creative dance based exercise training on respiratory, balance and cognitive functions, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength and functional capacity in COPD patients.
Interventions
Conventional chest physiotherapy programme will include diaphragmatic breathing exercise, thoracic expansion exercises, incentive spirometer exercise (Triflo), teaching of respiratory control, relaxing and coughing techniques.
OTHERCreative Dance Based Exercise Training
Creative dance based exercise training will be given under the supervision of a physiotherapist who takes creative dance instructor training 2 days and 60 minutes per week.
