Effect of Game Based Approach on Oxygenation, Functional Capacity and Quality of Life in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

Impaired pulmonary function, decreased physical activity, functional capacity and depending on these factors are reported in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia in recent studies. The purpose of this study to evaluate the effects of game based approach on pulmonary function, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with primary ciliary dykinesia.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder characterized by congenital structural abnormalities and impairment of respiratory function. Mucociliary clearance is affected by disorders in the structure and movement of cilia. That causes repeated infections in the upper and lower respiratory tract.In addition to mucociliary effects and impaired lung function, it is thought that there may be a decrease in respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity. One of the factors affecting functional capacity is the level of physical activity. For these reasons, the management of the respiratory system in patients with PCD is very important. In addition to airway clearence techniques, approaches to increase physical activity are also important. It was thought that severe physical activity could be an important determinant of cardiopulmonary functional capacity in patients with mild to moderate PCD. The level of physical activity is known to be associated with quality of life. In literature no study investigated the effects of game based approach on oxygenation, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with PCD. Game based approach is a new method lead to increase physical activity. In literature there is no study investigated the effects of game based approach on oxygenation, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with PCD.

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia, Kartegener Syndrome, Immotile Cilia Syndrome, Pulmonary Rehabilitation, Airway Clearance Techniques, Exergame

Home Based Therapy: 16 patients with PCD Airway clearence techniques, everday of the week, during eight weeks

Game based approach programme: 16 patients with PCD Game based approach programme will be done using the exergame with the game console, fourty minutes three times per week for eight weeks. Exergame includes five games selected from two kinects games CD. Each game will be played for five games set. Airway clearence techniques, everday of the week, during eight weeks

Six minute walk test will be performed in a long, straight, enclosed corridor 30 meters in length. Patients are required to walk in their walking speed with standardized instructions.

Heart rate will be recorded before and after six minute walk test, shuttle walk test, glittre ADL test, playing seated game and kinect games. The number of heart beats per minute will be evaluated before and after the tests to measure how much it has changed in 8 weeks.

Systolic blood pressure will be measued before and after six minute walk test, shuttle walk test, glittre ADL test, playing seated games and kinect games. The systolic blood pressure will be evaluated before and after the tests to measure how much it has changed in 8 weeks.

Diastolic blood pressure will be measued before and after six minute walk test, shuttle walk test, glittre ADL test, playing seated games and kinect games. The diastolic blood pressure will be evaluated before and after the tests to measure how much it has changed in 8 weeks.

Respiratory rate will be recorded before and after six minute walk test, shuttle walk test, glittre ADL test, playing seated games and kinect games. The respiratory rate will be evaluated before and after the tests to measure how much it has changed in 8 weeks.

Perception of dyspnea will be evaluated by the OMNI scale before and after six minute walk test, shuttle walk test, glittre ADL test, playing seated games and kinect games. OMNI is a perceived exertion scale as BORG perceived exertion scale. The term OMNI is an acronym for the word omnibus. This perceived exertion scale includes numerical categories from 0 to 10. The numbers on the scale show a range of exertion levels from extremely easy (0) to extremely hard (10). The perception of dyspnea will be evaluated before and after the tests to measure how much it has changed in 8 weeks.

Perception of fatigue will be assessed by the OMNI scale before and after six minute walk test, shuttle walk test, glittre ADL test, playing seated games and kinect games.OMNI is a perceived exertion scale as BORG perceived exertion scale.The term OMNI is an acronym for the word omnibus. This perceived exertion scale includes numerical categories from 0 to 10. The numbers on the scale show a range of exertion levels from extremely easy (0) to extremely hard (10). The perception of general fatigue will be evaluated before and after the tests to measure how much it has changed in 8 weeks.

Perception of quadriceps fatigue will be assessed by the OMNI scale before and after six minute walk test, shuttle walk test, glittre ADL test,playing seated games and kinect games. OMNI scale is a perceived exertion scale as BORG scale. The term OMNI is an acronym for the word omnibus. This perceived exertion scale includes numerical categories from 0 to 10. The numbers on the scale show a range of exertion levels from extremely easy (0) to extremely hard (10). The perception of quadriceps fatigue will be evaluated before and after the tests to measure how much it has changed in 8 weeks.

Statical balance will ve assessed by the flamingo balance test. The test evaluates the postural balance.In this test, a metal or wooden beam with a length of 50 cm, a height of 4 cm and a width of 3 cm is used. During this test, the participant tries to stand with a single foot in a manner similar to the flamingo position for as long as possible on the long axis of the beam. The stopwatch starts with the command. When the balance is distorted, the time is stopped and the time progresses until the next equilibrium loss.

Balance disturbances within 1 min are counted. If there is more than 15 loss of balance within the first 30s, the test is terminated and zero score is given.

Dynamic balance will be evaluated by the Y balance test. The test extends to the directions determined by the lower limb of the participant and assesses the stability and stability of the participant on the other.In the test setup, 3 pieces of tape measure will be glued to the floor in an angle of 120 degrees. At the intersection of these 3 scales, one will be asked to stand on one foot with the other foot in 3 directions as anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral. At this time, the participant's balance, not to stand on the foot of the heel of the feet to stand up and extend the finger tips of the feet will be careful to touch slightly. At the end of each test, the participant will be asked to bring his foot to the side of his foot without losing the balance and touching the floor. This application will be repeated 3 times for each test.

Subjective physical activity will ve assessed by the Bouchard Three-Day Physical Activity Questionnaire. It queries the individual's level of physical activity on weekdays and at the weekend.

The average energy calculation in kilocalories per kilogram at intervals of fifteen minutes is used to calculate daily energy consumption.

The objective physical activity will be evaluated by the SenseWear Armband which has three-axis accelerometer sensors during the Glittre Activity of Daily Living Test. Energy consumption will be calculated as metabolic equivalent of task (MET).

Energy expenditure will be assessed by Sense Wear Armband before starting to play each kinect games to determine how much energy consumption level of the games has reached during the session.

Activity of daily living will ve evaluated by the Glittre Activity of DailyLiving (ADL) test. Glittre ADL test is a test that provides standardized functional status assessment including activities similar to daily living activities.
