简要总结
Cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis are the most seen problems in children with chronic pulmonary diseases. İt is a genetic, chronic system disease that reduces life expectancy, and life quality as well. Chronic lung disease , malnutrition, and reduced activity, caused by disease lead to postural disorders. Muscle force, endurance, activity of Daily living are adversely affected. İn the treatment pulmonary rehabilitation are using. Airway clearance technique, pulmonary exercises, upper extremity ergometer, dumbbells, elastic bands, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique are applying. Resistance training using elastic bands has become an increasingly common intervention aiming to improve function by increasing muscular strength. İn one study indicated that muscle strength can be improved through three dimensional spiral large scale resistive exercises using proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. İn the literature there isn't any research , uses elastic bands with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation for the upper extremity and evaluating pulmonary functions, posture, quality of life, muscle force.
The aim of this study is giving exercises programme with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and elastic bands and to evaluate pulmonary muscle force, pulmonary functions, posture, activity of daily living, quality of life, functional capacity. And to evaluate the effect of treatment programme on these parameters.
The subjects were divided in two groups. An experimental group three times a week for 12 weeks will perform proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises with elastic bands, and pulmonary exercises. The control group will apply only pulmonary exercises at home programme.
详细描述
Participants: All participants with chronic respiratory disease were recruited from a Istanbul University Medical Faculty, Allergy Department. All treatments were performed in the same hospital.
Sample Size: Sample size was calculated with power analysis. Pass 11 Home programme was used. α=0,05, β=0,6, 1- β=0,94 was determined. İf Sample size was defined 20 experimental and 20 control group the power obtained %95. Using two-sided two sample t-test with alpha 0,05 standard deviations were 5,0 and 4,0.
Procedure: Forty chronic respiratory disease patient were assessed between the age of 10-18 years old. The patients were found to be suitable for inclusion criteria of the study.Randomisation was performed by using randomisation function of Microsoft Office Excel programme by another researcher (ARO). Random number generator of Microsoft Office Excel Software gave a random number between 0 and 1 to the each treatment columns which were created by ARO. Sorting the random number row from the largest to the smallest number was performed by the sort and filter menu.After the randomisation,assessments at baseline and the patients were divided two groups. The experimental group was treated one by one with one physical therapist three times a week during a session for 30-45 minutes.

研究组 & 干预措施
Group applying PNF technique
The experimental goup who are applying PNF technique with elastic bands for the upper extremities. Before the group will perform stretching and resisted exercises at the warming up period, after they will do PNF exercises with elastic bands on two PNF pattern for the upper extremities and finally they will do some stretching exercises for the cool down period. The programme will continue for 30-45 minutes, three times a week, for 12 weeks. They will work one by one with a physical therapist.
干预措施: Group applying PNF technique (Behavioral)
Home Programme
This group will perform only breathing exercises daily at home during 12 weeks.
