Comparison of Respiratory Muscle Activations During Dyspnea Reduction Positions in Individuals

NCT04983472 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Chronic and progressive dyspnea is the most characteristic symptom of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. There are studies in the literature showing that electromyography activations of respiratory muscles increase in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and that the severity of the perceived shortness of breath is associated with muscle activation. However, no study has been found comparing respiratory muscle activations during pursed lip breathing and normal breathing in the dyspnea reduction positions and supine position used in the treatment and management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of different dyspnea reduction positions on respiratory muscle activations separately, to compare respiratory muscle activation during normal breathing, respiratory control and pursed lip breathing during these different positions, and to classify muscle activations according to the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Observational

Respiratory muscle electromyographic activations of individuals will be taken during supine, normal sitting and dyspnea reduction positions. Individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease will be asked to perform normal breathing, pursed lip breathing, and breathing control during these positions. Respiratory muscle activation measurement of individuals will be taken during different breathing patterns in each position. Respiratory functions will be evaluated with pulmonary function test, respiratory muscle strength, intraoral pressure measurement device, respiratory muscle activation with surface electromyographic device, health status disorder with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment Scale, dyspnea with Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale and Modified Borg Scale. Participants' names, anthropometric measurements, demographic data, contact information and medical history will be collected and recorded with the patient anamnesis form.
