Comparison of PR Efficiency in Home-based With Hospital-based PR in Bronchiectasis

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Hospital-based pulmonary rehabilitation: The patients who undergo two days pulmonary rehabilitation under supervision in our clinic and three days a week at home during two months will taken as hospital group. The exercises include breathing exercises, treadmill (15sc), cycle training (15sc), arm ergometer training (15sc), peripheral muscle training and stretching exercises with free weights.

Home-based pulmonary rehabilitation: The patients who follow a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program for two months comprising breathing exercises, training in chest hygiene techniques, peripheral muscle strengthening training and self-walking for 5 days in a week for two months. An exercise follow-up form will give to the patients to record their daily exercises. A similar form will fill by physiotherapist once a week during phone call.

Study summary

The investigators aimed to compare the home-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation with the hospital-based pulmonary rehabilitation in terms of pulmonary rehabilitation efficiency in patient with bronchiectasis.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Changes from baseline the 6-minute walking distance at two months. — Two months
• Changes from baseline the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale at two months. — Two months
  Dyspnea perceptions during daily life activities will assess according to the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale. The mMRC Dyspnea Scale is best used to establish baseline functional impairment due to dyspnea attributable to respiratory disease; tracking the mMRC over time or with therapeutic interventions is of less certain clinical utility.The severity of dyspnea is rated on a scale of 0 to 4. "0" means no dyspnea perception, "4" means severe dyspnea perception.
