About this study

Impaired pulmonary function, decreased physical activity, functional capacity and depending on these factors are reported in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia in recent studies. The purpose of this study to evaluate the effects of game based approach on pulmonary function, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with primary ciliary dykinesia.

Read the detailed description

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder characterized by congenital structural abnormalities and impairment of respiratory function. Mucociliary clearance is affected by disorders in the structure and movement of cilia. That causes repeated infections in the upper and lower respiratory tract.In addition to mucociliary effects and impaired lung function, it is thought that there may be a decrease in respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity. One of the factors affecting functional capacity is the level of physical activity. For these reasons, the management of the respiratory system in patients with PCD is very important. In addition to airway clearence techniques, approaches to increase physical activity are also important. It was thought that severe physical activity could be an important determinant of cardiopulmonary functional capacity in patients with mild to moderate PCD. The level of physical activity is known to be associated with quality of life.

In literature no study investigated the effects of game based approach on oxygenation, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with PCD. Game based approach is a new method lead to increase physical activity. In literature there is no study investigated the effects of game based approach on oxygenation, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with PCD.

    Statical balance will ve assessed by the flamingo balance test. The test evaluates the postural balance.In this test, a metal or wooden beam with a length of 50 cm, a height of 4 cm and a width of 3 cm is used. During this test, the participant tries to stand with a single foot in a manner similar to the flamingo position for as long as possible on the long axis of the beam. The stopwatch starts with the command. When the balance is distorted, the time is stopped and the time progresses until the next equilibrium loss.

    Dynamic balance will be evaluated by the Y balance test. The test extends to the directions determined by the lower limb of the participant and assesses the stability and stability of the participant on the other.In the test setup, 3 pieces of tape measure will be glued to the floor in an angle of 120 degrees. At the intersection of these 3 scales, one will be asked to stand on one foot with the other foot in 3 directions as anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral. At this time, the participant's balance, not to stand on the foot of the heel of the feet to stand up and extend the finger tips of the feet will be careful to touch slightly. At the end of each test, the participant will be asked to bring his foot to the side of his foot without losing the balance and touching the floor. This application will be repeated 3 times for each test.

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Functional capacity using six minute walk test (time frame: Change from baseline distance of six minute walk test in 8 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03832491, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
