About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Validity and Reliability of the Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Patients

The Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol was first developed for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients and was found to be valid and reliable, but there is no validity and reliability study of the Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol in IPF patients. The purpose of the study is to Examine the Validity and Reliability of the Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) patients.

Read the detailed description

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial lung disease characterized by a restrictive type of breathing disorder. In IPF patients, serious limitations occur in the activities of daily living (ADL) of the patients due to dyspnea and fatigue symptoms, therefore it is very important to evaluate the activities of daily living in this patient group. It is recommended to use protocols created from activities frequently used in daily life to evaluate ADL in chronic respiratory patients. Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol is a performance-based objective measurement method based on repetition of daily activities. Participants are asked to perform the activities defined in the protocol at the same speed they do at home, and the completion time of the protocol is recorded. The individual is asked to complete all stations in order from a designated starting line.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Activities of Daily Living ProtocolOther

    The protocol is a performance-based objective measurement method based on repetition of daily activities. Participants are asked to perform the activities defined in the protocol at the same speed they do at home. The Londrina Protocol includes 5 stations: Station 1 Arranging Objects on the Table, Station 2 Walking with Bags, Station 3 Organizing Shelves, Station 4 Clothesline Task, Station 5 Walking. The completion time of the protocol is recorded.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol

    The protocol is a performance-based objective measurement method based on repetition of daily activities. Participants are asked to perform the activities defined in the protocol at the same speed they do at home. The Londrina Protocol includes 5 stations: Station 1 Arranging Objects on the Table, Station 2 Walking with Bags, Station 3 Organizing Shelves, Station 4 Clothesline Task, Station 5 Walking. The completion time of the protocol is recorded.

    Measured: 15 minutes

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Glittre Activities of Daily Living Test:

    The test is a submaximal exercise test developed by selecting activities similar to activities of daily living to evaluate functional capacity in COPD. The test provides information about performance in activities of daily living and may reflect functional capacity. It is a test that takes place within a distance of 10 m in total. During the test, female patients carry a 2.5 kg backpack and male patients carry a 5 kg backpack. The test involves five rounds and patients are asked to complete these rounds as quickly as possible. Test completion time is recorded. Glittre ADL Test is a valid and reliable test in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

    Measured: 5 minutes

  2. London Chest Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Scale

    Used in diseases such as COPD and heart failure, to evaluate dyspnea that occurs only with activities of daily living, Garrod et al. It is a simple, standardized, valid and reliable questionnaire developed by . This survey consists of 4 parts. It consists of 15 items in total: self-care: 4 items, housework 6 items, physical activity 2 items, and leisure activities 3 items. Each item is given a score ranging from 0 to 5. The total score varies between 0-75. Higher scores indicate greater ADL limitations.

    Measured: 10 minutes

  3. Hand Grip Strength Measurement

    A hand dynamometer will be used to evaluate grip strength (Lafayette Professional Hand Dynamometer 5030L1, USA). Participants were placed in the standard test position determined by the American Association of Hand Therapists for grip strength measurement.

    Measured: 5 minutes

  4. mMRC Dyspnea Scale

    This scale is a five-item scale (0: no dyspnea, 4 severe dyspnea) based on various physical activities that cause the feeling of dyspnea. Here, patients are asked to mark the level of activity that causes dyspnea.

    Measured: 5 minutes

  5. Respiratory Function Test

    Measurements will be made with a portable spirometer device. Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), percentages of the FEV1/FVC ratio according to expected values according to age, height, body weight and gender, and inspiratory and expiratory respiratory muscle forces will be recorded

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Activity, Motor, run by Izmir Katip Celebi University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

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?

Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol (time frame: 15 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Jun 2025.
