Investigation of the Effects of Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Children With Primary Immunodeficiency
Sponsor: Gazi University
Summary
Primary immunodeficiencies (PID) are a heterogeneous group of diseases that occur as a result of disorders that affect the development, differentiation and/or function of various cells and building blocks in the immune system. Among the symptoms and complications of PID, pulmonary complications are very common and significantly increase the morbidity and mortality of the disease.

Conditions
Interventions
Inspiratory muscle training
Inspiratory muscle training will be performed with Power Breathe®. Inspiratory muscle training will be given to the training group, starting from 50% of the MIP, and 2 sessions/day, 15 minutes/session. Patients will be asked to check breathing for 4-5 breaths after 8-10 consecutive breathing cycles. The patient will continue this cycle for 15 minutes.
Upper extremity aerobic exercise training
Upper extremity aerobic exercise training will be performed 3 days/week, 1 session/day, 15 min/session using arm ergometer device accompanied by a physiotherapist. Aerobic exercise training workload will be 60-80% of maximal heart rate. In this study, the perception of dyspnea will be between 3-4, arm fatigue and general fatigue perception will be between 5-6, warm-up and cool-down periods will be 5 minutes, and pedaling speed will be 40-50 rev/min, according to MBS.
Lower extremity aerobic exercise training
Lower extremity aerobic exercise training will be performed 3 days/week, 1 session/day, 15 minutes/session using the treadmill device, accompanied by a physiotherapist. Aerobic exercise training workload was set at 60-80% of maximal heart rate, dyspnea perception according to MBS was between 3-4, arm fatigue and general fatigue perception was between 5-6, and warm-up and cool-down periods were 5 minutes.
Resistant exercise training
Upper and lower additional limb strengthening training will be performed 3 days/week, 1 session/day, 10 repetitions/sessions from the first day by using bullion weights in the presence of a physiotherapist. The upper extremity strengthening program will consist of a progressive exercise program to strengthen the shoulder flexors and abductors, and the lower extremity strengthening program to strengthen the knee extensors. The training workload will be increased progressively. For strength training, the workload will be adjusted so that the perception of fatigue is between 4 and 6 according to MBS.
Thoracic expansion exercises
The control group will be asked to do thoracic expansion exercises seven days/week and 120 pieces/day for six weeks.
