The Effects of Two Different Breathing Techniques and Forward-Leaning Position on Physiological Parameters
Determination of the Effects of Two Different Breathing Techniques and Forward-Leaning Position on Physiological Parameters in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Apr 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to determine the effects of balloon inflation and pursed-lip breathing exercises, in addition to the forward-leaning position, on physiological parameters in individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The hypotheses of the study are as follows: H1\_1: The forward-leaning position and balloon inflation breathing exercise have a positive effect on physiological parameters in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). H1\_2: The forward-leaning position and pursed-lip breathing exercise have a positive effect on physiological parameters in patients with COPD. H1\_3: There is a significant difference in physiological parameters between the balloon inflation and pursed-lip breathing exercise groups and the control group. Within this scope, the study will be conducted with three groups: Intervention Group 1: Balloon inflation exercise applied in addition to the forward-leaning position. Intervention Group 2: Pursed-lip breathing exercise applied in addition to the forward-leaning position. Control Group: Standard practice implemented in the institution where the study is conducted. Participants: * A home exercise program will be designed for both intervention groups, allowing them to perform the exercises independently each day. * The exercises will start with three sessions per day and will be increased by one session each week, continuing for a total of four weeks. * Participants will visit the outpatient clinic in the 4th week for assessments and tests. * Patients will be contacted weekly by the researcher via phone to ensure adherence to the program.
