Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of our study was to compare the daily living activities with a performance-based protocol in lung cancer patients and healthy controls.
Detailed Description
Lung cancer is the abnormal proliferation of cells in the lung tissue and a mass in the lung. The primary symptoms of this health problem include cough, dyspnea, chest pain, hemoptysis and sputum. In addition to these symptoms, muscle strength, respiratory function and effort level are decreased. Inadequate daily living activities in cancer patients are expressed.But studies evaluating the activities of daily living in patients with lung cancer are inadequate and patients are evaluated only using scales. For the measurement of functional status in daily living activities, these scales provide important information about the detection of symptoms and the progression of the disease. However, it is very difficult to determine the limitation of perceived difficulty in daily living activities with these scales. In addition, since these scales are a method of measurement, the objectivity is open to discussion. It is thought that a performance-based protocol will facilitate the detection of limitations and provide more objective findings. We think that the Londrina protocol fully reflects the activities of daily living and thus will give us an objective measurement. This study will show us the problem and its cause in daily life activities in patients with lung cancer.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Activities Of Daily Living
Time Frame: 1st day
Daily Living Activities will be evaluated using the Londrina Protocol.The protocol consists of 5 stations. Stations are including organizing books on the table, 18 meters walking by carrying 10% of body weight symmetrically, arranging books by putting them on shelves, hanging the laundry in the laundry basket and walking 18 meters. İndividual will do these activities at his own pace and the time will be recorded at the end.
Secondary Outcomes
- Dyspnoea(1st Day)
- Exercise Capacity(1st Day)
- Peripheral Muscle Strength(1st Day)
- Life Quality(1st Day)
- Respiratory Functions(1st Day)
