Overview
Brief Summary
While research and clinical practice have demonstrated the objective benefits of pacemaker use on mortality, morbidity, and quality of life, some patients do not experience the expected level of improvement following device implantation. The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of device implantation on daily living activities, upper extremity functions, peripheral muscle strength, balance problems, fear of movement and quality of life.

Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients with a history of shoulder pathologies prior to pacemaker implantation that may restrict movement of the upper limb (conditions such as severe pain around the shoulder, edema or shoulder dislocation that may restrict upper limb movement),
- •Patients with a history of shoulder surgery (limitation in range of motion),
- •Patients who have had a cerebrovascular event resulting in mastectomy or arm involvement on the affected side,
- •Patients with decompensated heart failure,

- •Patients with malignancy on active treatment, patients with collagen tissue disease receiving systemic steroids,
- •Chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis with unstable volume load
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Evaluation of upper extremity functional capacity
Time Frame: 1 years
6 Minute Peg Board ve Ring Testi - 6PBRT
Evaluation of peripheral muscle strength
Time Frame: 1 years
Jamar Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer (Baseline Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer, Model: 12-0240, Fabrication Enterprises INC. White Plains, NY 10602 U.S.A.)
Evaluation of balance
Time Frame: 1 years
Time Up and Go Test - TUG
Evaluation of fear of movement
Time Frame: 1 years
Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart- TSK- HEART / The person receives a total score between 17 and 68. A high score on the scale indicates a high level of kinesiophobia.
Evaluation of physical activity levels
Time Frame: 1 years
International Pyhsical Activity Questionnaire Short Form, IPAQ / It is calculated using the metabolic equivalent method (MET). There are three different categories. The first category is inactive (\<600 MET-minute/week), the second category is minimally active (600-300 MET-minute/week) and the last category is always active (\<3000 MET-minute/week).
Evaluation of activities of daily living
Time Frame: 1 years
Performance Measure for Activities of Daily Living-8 for Patient with Mild Symptomatic Heart Failure- PMADL-8 / The total score ranges from 8-32, with a high score indicating a level of limitation in activities of daily living.
Evaluation of quality of life
Time Frame: 1 years
Short Form- 36 -SF-36 / Each sub-parameter is scored between 0 and 100. A high score indicates that the individual has a high quality of life.
