简要总结
Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a hemodynamic and physiopathological condition that is defined as an increase in pulmonary artery pressure ≥25 mmHg when measured at resting with symptoms such as dyspnea, fatigue, chest pain, and syncope. PH characterized by decreased exercise capacity, quality of life, peripheral muscle strength, balance, and physical inactivity. It is recommended that patients with PH should be included in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs in addition to medical treatment. Ground-based walking training is a safe and effective method for COPD patients. In the literature, there are no studies evaluating the effects of ground-based walking training in PH patients.
详细描述
The aim of this project is to determine the effect of ground-based walking training on physical activity, exercise capacity, balance, peripheral muscle strength and quality of life in patients with PH.
