Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to evaluate motor imagery ability, reaction time and cognitive function parameters in children with CF and non-CF bronchiectasis compared to healthy peers.
Detailed Description
The main causes affecting exercise capacity in patients with bronchiectasis are restriction of tidal expiratory flow, dyspnea secondary to dynamic hyperinflation, changes in pulmonary mechanics, inadequate gas exchange and decreased skeletal muscle mass. Due to all these symptoms, exercise capacity decreases in patients with bronchiectasis and the importance of physical activity increases. . In addition to decreased exercise capacity in individuals with bronchiectasis, studies on the effect of motor imagery ability, which is considered as a mental exercise, have not been found. Inadequate blood supply to the brain and muscle dysfunction have been reported to cause cognitive damage and decreased reaction time in COPD patients.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Trail Making Test
Time Frame: The assessment will be administered only once to each participant. All tests will take place on the same day and will last approximately 60 minutes.
The Trail Making Test is divided into two parts. In the first part, the participant is asked to connect the 23 numbers in the circle randomly placed on the page with a pencil in an orderly order, and in the second part, the participant is asked to draw and connect the 23 numbers and letters in the circle in a mixed order. In the second part, the individual has to change sets between one letter and one number. (1- A, 2-B, 3-C, 4-D, etc.).The test can be applied between the ages of 8-79.
Stroop Test
Time Frame: The assessment will be administered only once to each participant. All tests will take place on the same day and will last approximately 60 minutes.
The Stroop Test consists of four parts. The first part contains words written in black (e.g blue), the second part contains colors and the last part contains words written in different colors (e.g. the word blue written in red ink). The participant is expected to fulfill these tasks in turn. The participant has to correctly read the words in the first part, say the colors in the next part, read the colored word in the third part, and then say the color in which the word is written in the last part.
Nelson Hand Reaction Test
Time Frame: The assessment will be administered only once to each participant. All tests will take place on the same day and will last approximately 60 minutes.
The tester holds the ruler by the tip and between the thumb and index fingers of the subject and releases the ruler. When the ruler is released, the participant is asked to catch the ruler. The participants hand is fixed and 20 trials are performed in the test. At the top point where the subject grabs the ruler with his/her fingers, the reaction time of the subject is determined. The highest and lowest five trials are discarded and the remaining ones are averaged.
Nelson Foot Reaction Test
Time Frame: The assessment will be administered only once to each participant. All tests will take place on the same day and will last approximately 60 minutes.
The participant removes his/her shoes and sits with the toe 2.5 cm from the wall and the heel 5 cm. The tester holds the reaction time ruler at the edge of the wall and between the wall and the subjects foot, with the baseline at the tip of the thumb. The subject is instructed to look at the concentration line and to hold the ruler, which falls after the ready command, by pinching it against the wall with the toe of the foot. This test is repeated 20 times.
Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3
Time Frame: The assessment will be administered only once to each participant. All tests will take place on the same day and will last approximately 60 minutes
It consists of 3 subscales evaluating external visual imagery, internal visual imagery and kinesthetic imagery and a total of 12 items. Before scoring each movement, the participant is asked to perform the movement and then the movement is imaged three times. Scoring is done between 1 and 7, with "1 point: very difficult to see/feel, 7 points: very easy to see/feel". A maximum score of 84 can be obtained on the MIQ-3 questionnaire. A higher score on the test means that the person has a better ability to visualize.
Vividness of Motion Imagery Questionnaire
Time Frame: The assessment will be administered only once to each participant. All tests will take place on the same day and will last approximately 60 minutes
In the Vividness of Movement Imagery questionnaire, the person does not need to perform the movements before visualizing them. This scale consists of four scenarios and you are asked to rank on a scale of one to five how vividly you picture them in the participant mind. Each scenario asks you to imagine the face of a loved one, a view of your favorite grocery store or a beautiful landscape and rate the vividness of the details in each scene. The individual is asked to imagine 4 scenarios first with eyes open and then with eyes closed. As a result of this situation, the individual can reach a maximum of 160 in total score.
