Trial summary

Benign Joint Hypermobility Syndrome is a hereditary connective tissue problem characterized by the emergence of multiple musculoskeletal problems in hypermobile individuals without a systemic rheumatologic disease. Studies have shown that hypermobility may also affect lung function. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Hypermobility on Respiratory Functions in Musicians Playing Wind Instruments and Healthy Individuals Not Involved in Music

Benign Joint Hypermobility Syndrome is a hereditary connective tissue problem characterized by the emergence of multiple musculoskeletal problems in hypermobile individuals without a systemic rheumatologic disease. Studies have shown that hypermobility may also affect lung function. Playing wind instruments requires tiring breathing activity. The effect of wind instrument on lung function and how it affects lung function is a highly controversial issue. Given the distribution and importance of collagen tissue in the body, multiple effects of hypermobility are inevitable. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of hypermobility in young healthy individuals; The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of hypermobility on the cardiovascular system and to provide training to the participants regarding the findings.The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of hypermobility with respiratory functions in professional hypermobile musicians and to compare this relationship with healthy hypermobile individuals who are not engaged in music.

Read the detailed description

Sociodemographic data and musical backgrounds of all cases will be recorded. In accordance with the objectives, erm Upper Extremity Hypermobility Assessment Questionnaire "was used for hypermobility, pulmonary function test, respiratory and oral pressure measurement and respiratory muscle strength. The George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) will be used to assess the quality of life associated with respiration and the risk of asthma with the ile European Respiratory Health Survey, Phase 1 "questionnaire.We believe that the effects of hypermobility on pulmonary functions in healthy individuals will be clarified if this study takes place.
