简要总结
Scleroderma, also called systemic sclerosis (SSc); It is a heterogeneous multiorgan disease of unknown etiology characterized by vasculopathy, autoimmunity and fibrous tissue. It is stated in studies that cardiac and pulmonary systems are affected in patients with SSc and these effects affect the aerobic capacity, physical functions and quality of life of patients negatively by disrupting their pulmonary and musculoskeletal functions. However, considering the treatment approaches in scleroderma patients, the number of studies evaluating the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation and exercises is limited. Therefore, the purpose of our study; Comparison of the effects of a supervised exercise program and a home exercise program in patients with Systemic Sclerosis.
详细描述
Cases are divided into two groups as supervised exercise and home exercise program by closed envelope randomization method. All patients are informed about risk factors and risk factor management. All patients are trained 3 days in the first week under the supervision of a physiotherapist to learn individual exercise programs. Supervised exercise programs including warm-up, loading, cooling, and relaxation exercises are shown. The warm-up period is consist of light-paced walking, active movements of several large muscle groups. During the loading period respiratory control training, breathing exercises (Shrunken lip breathing exhaustion, diaphragmatic, thoracic expansion exercises), posture exercises with respiratory control (pectoral stretching, four-way trunk exercises, head-neck exercises, bilateral shoulder flexion and abduction exercises, sitting on a chair, standing up exercise. ), walking on the treadmill for 5-15 minutes without inclination and at a constant speed, starting with 3 minutes without load, continuing with a load of 20 watts and 3 minutes, and reaching a submaximal load with 3 watt increments every 10 seconds, pedaling in the bicycle ergometer is taken. Stretching exercises are done during the cooling period. This group was included in an exercise program 2 days a week, 45-90 minutes, for 12 weeks, accompanied by a specialist physiotherapist in the pulmonary rehabilitation unit in the chest diseases ward. The same exercises (respiratory control training, shrunken lip breathing exhaustion, diaphragmatic, thoracic expansion exercises, posture exercises with respiratory control (pectoral stretching, four-way trunk exercises, head and neck exercises, bilateral shoulder flexion and abduction exercises), sitting and standing exhaustion, and brisk walking to reach 60-85% of the person's maximum heart rate.)) were taught to the home exercise group and given in the form of a brochure and they were asked to do these exercises at home 2 days a week for 12 weeks. Participants of the home exercise group are contacted every two weeks via communication methods such as e-mail, message and telephone conversation. Exercise diary is given to all patients and is taken from them at the end of the study

研究组 & 干预措施
Supervised Exercise Group
Exercise programs including warm-up, loading, cooling, and relaxation exercises are shown. The warm-up period is consist of light-paced walking, active movements of several large muscle groups. In this loading program; respiratory control training, breathing exercises, posture exercises with respiratory control , walking on the treadmill for 20 minutes without inclination , pedaling in the bicycle ergometer for 10 minutes is taken. Stretching exercises are done during the cooling period. This group was included in an exercise program 2 days a week, 45-90 minutes, for 12 weeks, accompanied by a specialist physiotherapist to the pulmonary rehabilitation unit in the chest diseases ward.
干预措施: supervised Exercise training (Other)
Home Exercise Group
For patients to do at home (respiratory control training, shrunken lip breathing exhaustion, diaphragmatic, thoracic expansion exercises, posture exercises with respiratory control (pectoral stretching, four-way trunk exercises, head and neck exercises, bilateral shoulder flexion and abduction exercises), sitting and standing exhaustion, and brisk walking to reach 60-85% of the person's maximum heart rate.)), exercises is taught. Patients were asked to do the exercises at home for 45-90 minutes, 2 days a week, for 12 weeks. Participants of the control group are contacted every two weeks via communication methods such as e-mail, message and telephone conversation.Exercise diary is given to all patients and is taken from them at the end of the study.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Forced expiratory volume in one second / Forced vital capacity
时间窗: Baseline, 12th week
Pulmonary function test was applied by Sensor Medics Vmax 22 0,6-2B version spirometer (ERS 1993 Uptake + Zapleta, SensorMedics, Inc, Anaheim, CA, USA). Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/Forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio percent was recorded according to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) / European Respiratory Society (ERS) criteria
Change in peripheral muscle strength
时间窗: Baseline, 12th week
The Jamar Handgrip Dynamometer is an instrument for measuring the maximum isometric strength of the hand and forearm muscles. Quadriceps isometric muscle strength is measured with a Hand Held Dynamometer.
Change in Maximal Inspiratory Pressure
时间窗: Baseline, 12th week
Electronic mouth pressure measuring device was used for respiratory muscle strength. Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) was measured. MIP was measured from residual volume upon a maximal inspiratory effort against an occluded airway. occluded airway. MIP measurements was repeated three times, and the maximum percent achieved was recorded.
Change in diffusion capacity
时间窗: Baseline, 12th week
Single breath carbon monoxide method was used in diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) percent measurement
Change in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second
时间窗: Baseline, 12th week
Pulmonary function test was applied by Sensor Medics Vmax 22 0,6-2B version spirometer (ERS 1993 Uptake + Zapleta, SensorMedics, Inc, Anaheim, CA, USA). Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) percent was recorded according to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) / European Respiratory Society (ERS) criteria
Change in Forced Vital Capacity
时间窗: Baseline, 12th week
Pulmonary function test was applied by Sensor Medics Vmax 22 0,6-2B version spirometer (ERS 1993 Uptake + Zapleta, SensorMedics, Inc, Anaheim, CA, USA). Forced vital capacity (FVC) percent was recorded according to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) / European Respiratory Society (ERS) criteria
Change in Maximal Expiratory Pressure
时间窗: Baseline, 12th week
Electronic mouth pressure measuring device was used for respiratory muscle strength. Maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) was measured. MEP was measured from total lung capacity performing a maximal expiratory effort against an occluded airway. MEP measurements was repeated three times, and the maximum percent achieved was recorded
Change in functional capacity
时间窗: Baseline, 12th week
Six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a valid, reliable and useful test for assessing functional capacity of patients. This test assesses distance walked over 6 minutes as a sub maximal test of aerobic capacity/endurance.
