The Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Abdominal Accessory Respiratory Muscle Thickness in Patients With Parkinson's Disease: Correlation With Disease Severity and Expiratory Respiratory Muscle Strength
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms. The involvement of respiratory muscles can lead to impairments in respiratory function in these patients. In this study is to evaluate the thickness of abdominal accessory respiratory muscles using ultrasonography in patients with Parkinson's disease. Additionally, the relationship between disease severity and expiratory respiratory muscle strength will be examined. The study will include Parkinson's patients at different stages of the disease, with respiratory muscle thickness measured via ultrasonography. The collected data will then be compared with disease severity and expiratory muscle strength.

Treatments
Parkinson Disease (PD)
Abdominal Accesory Respiratory Muscles (rectus abdominis, transversus abdominis, and oblique muscles) and MIP(maximum inspiratory pressure) MEP(maximum expiratory pressure) values of the group with Parkinson's diagnosis and Hoehn Yahr Stage 1-2-3 will be measured, a 6-Minute Walk Test will be performed and the results will be noted.
Control Group
Abdominal Accessory Respiratory Muscles (rectus abdominis, transversus abdominis, and oblique muscles) and MIP (maximum inspiratory muscles) MEP(maximum expiratory muscles) values of age and gender matched healthy values of age and gender matched healthy volunteers without any diagnosis of neuromuscular disease or chest diseases will be measured and the results will be noted.
