Overview
Brief Summary
It is to determine the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation by telerehabilitation method in bronchiectasis patients. The cases meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomized and divided into two groups, the groups will be named as Telerehabilitation Exercise Group (TRGr) and Control Group (CGr).
Detailed Description
Patients diagnosed with bronchiectasis by HRCT by a chest diseases specialist and referred to pulmonary rehabilitation by determining the severity of bronchiectasis with the Modified Reiff Score and Bronchiectasis Severity Index Score 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 (TRGr) and Control Group (KGr). TRGr will be given online exercises, synchronized 3 days a week, accompanied by a physiotherapist, via videoconference on the group smartphone. As for the KGr group, a pulmonary rehabilitation information brochure will be given to after the initial evaluation. They will be asked to do the exercises on the brochure. The exercise period will be 8 weeks for both groups. Standard medical treatments for both groups will continue.
