Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of neurophysiological facilitation techniques on respiratory and functional levels in intensive care patients. Participants were divided into two groups as experimental (n=20) and control (n=20). Conventional physiotherapy, which includes chest physiotherapy, mobilization exercises and range of motion exercises were applied in control group. Neurophysiological facilitation techniques in addition to the conventional physiotherapy program ere applied in experimental group. The functional status, lower and upper extremity muscle strength, grip strength measurements of the patients and the rates of weaning from mechanical ventilation were evaluated before and after treatment. Vital signs, dyspnea and fatigue perception were assessed each day of treatment. Evaluations were analyzed statistically using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences-22 program.
