Summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder characterized by recurrent upper airway obstruction during sleep, leading to intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation. In addition to its well-known cardiometabolic consequences, OSA may negatively affect functional capacity and daily activity performance. However, upper extremity functional capacity in individuals with OSA has not been adequately evaluated.

The 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test (6PBRT) is a functional test designed to assess upper extremity functional capacity during unsupported arm activity. Although the test has been widely used in respiratory diseases, its measurement properties have not yet been evaluated in patients with OSA.

The aim of this study is to investigate the validity and reliability of the 6PBRT in adults diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea using polysomnography. Participants with OSA will undergo polysomnographic evaluation and complete the 6PBRT. Test-retest reliability will be assessed by repeating the test under the same conditions. The relationship between 6PBRT performance and polysomnographic parameters (AHI, ODI, minimum SpO₂ and T90) will also be examined. In addition, associations between 6PBRT performance and clinical scales such as the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire will be analyzed.

The findings of this study are expected to provide evidence regarding the measurement properties of the 6PBRT in individuals with OSA and contribute to the clinical assessment of upper extremity functional capacity in this population.
