Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other, Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The study is a randomized controlled trial. The cases will be divided into two groups as the Homespirometer group and the control group. Breathing exercises, aerobic exercise and peripheral muscle strengthening will be performed in both groups. A home-type spirometer will be given to the homespirometer group and it will be requested to send the spirometric measurement every week. The cases will be called to the hospital for control and evaluated at baseline, 3rd, 6th and 12th months. Evaluations include assessments such as exercise capacity measurement, muscle strength measurement, disease attack frequency, symptom scoring.

Treatments
Experimental: Homespirometer Group (HsGr)
Patients will be taught to use the homespirometer device, download the phone application, use the application, use the video call feature, measure saturation and heart rate with the same device, and daily symptom scoring in the device's system.~Patients will be asked to perform pulmonary function tests with a spirometer device, measure saturation and heart rate, score symptoms, and write down any problems related to their illness twice a week on days without exercise. The evaluations made after 2 tests. They will be sent to the researchers via the device.andthe video containing the exercises after the first training will be sent to them via whatsapp for the exercise compliance of the patients. In the first exercise week, the first 2 exercise sessions will be done one-on-one via video call, and the exercises will be done correctly.
Active_comparator: Control Group (CGr)
The same exercise training will be taught to the study group and the same exercise video will be sent to the patients via WhatsApp. The first 2 exercise sessions will be done one-on-one via video call (via whatsapp), and the exercises will be done correctly. Patients will be given an exercise diary and asked to take notes on their weekly exercises.
