Comparison of Upper and Lower Limb Maximal Exercise Capacities, Muscle Oxygenation and Energy Consumption During Tests in Patients With Interstitial Lung Disease
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a complex group of diseases that cause significant morbidity and mortality, develop diffuse lung parenchyma and alveolar inflammation, as well as interstitial fibrosis, which refers to more than 200 diseases. Due to restrictive type ventilation disorder and impaired pulmonary gas exchange, pulmonary function has deteriorated in these patients and progressive shortness of breath, fatigue, cough and exercise intolerance are usually observed, which also affects the quality of life.

Treatments
Lower Extremity Group
The first test is the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), which evaluates the maximal exercise capacity of the lower extremities and will be performed on a treadmill.~During the test, the muscle oxygen of the individuals will be measured with a near-infrared spectrometer, and their energy consumption will be measured with a multisensory physical activity monitor.
Upper Extremity Group
In the second test, the maximal exercise capacity for the upper limb will again be evaluated by CPET and performed on the arm ergometer.~The second test will be conducted 48 hours after the lower extremity exercise test.~During the test in the second group, as in the first test, muscle oxygen will be measured with a near-infrared spectrometer, and energy expenditure with a multisensory physical activity monitor.
