Overview
Brief Summary
It is to determine the effectiveness of different telerehabilitation exercise programs received to 2 groups randomly formed in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients. The cases meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomized and divided into two groups, the groups will be named as Telerehabilitation Exercise Group (TGr) and Video Group (VGr).
Detailed Description
Patients diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis by a chest diseases specialist and referred to pulmonary rehabilitation will be included in the study. The cases meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomized and divided into two groups, the groups will be named as Telerehabilitation Exercise Group (TGr) and Video Group (VGr). TGr will be given online exercises, synchronized 2 days a week, and a home program for 1 day, accompanied by a physiotherapist, via videoconference on the group smartphone. As for the VGr group, after 1 session of online simultaneous exercise training in the company of a physiotherapist via videoconference on the smart phone, an exercise video including the exercises will be sent to them and the patients will be asked to do their exercises 3 days a week. The subjects will be asked to keep an exercise diary and the status of the diaries will be followed by calling them once a week. The exercise period will be 8 weeks for both groups.
