• Registration Number: NCT04484389
• Lead Sponsor: Istinye University

Brief Summary

Telerehabilitation applications are a treatment method that uses new technologies. There are examples of doing for many diseases in our country. It is a method used for people living in remote areas and people who cannot complete their treatment in hospitals due to the epidemic. In our study, we will use the telerehabilitation system. In this system, which we will use in people with chronic disease, we aim to see improvement in tests performed in many areas such as physical activity level, respiratory capacity, depression, and anxiety level of patients.

In the study to be performed on 60 patients, 30 people will be control and 30 people will be the experimental group. The experimental group will be treated with a video conferencing method, tailor-made exercise program based on the international physical activity questionnaire level for 30 minutes 3 days a week for 6 weeks. The control group will only be informed with the help of a brochure with a standard exercise program.

The tests we can use in this experiment are as follows: Barthel daily life activities index, beck depression and anxiety scale, ferrans power quality of life index, Charlson comorbidity index, environmental measurements, waist/hip ratio, fatigue severity scale, international physical activity questionnaire. Tests specific to chronic diseases will be applied to patient one to one.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Beck Depression Inventory	2 weeks	The Beck Depression Inventory is a 21-item, self-report rating inventory that measures characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression. Beck Depression Inventory is a 21-question multiple-choice self-report inventory The Beck Depression Inventory takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 0 and the maximum score is 63 . Higher total scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Charlson Comorbidity Index	2 weeks	The Charlson Comorbidity Index is a method of categorizing comorbidities of patients. Each comorbidity category has an associated weight (from 1 to 6), based on the adjusted risk of mortality or resource use, and the sum of all the weights results in a single comorbidity score for a patient. A score of zero indicates that no comorbidities were found. The higher the score, the more likely the predicted outcome will result in mortality or higher resource use.
