Abstract

Objective: This study was aimed to compare the functional exercise capacity, upper and lower extremity muscle strength, dyspnea, fatigue, quality of life (QoL), level of physical activity (PA), and cardiovascular diseases knowledge level in patients with psoriasis and healthy individuals.
Method: Thirty-six patients and 36 healthy controls were included in the study. The functional exercise capacity [6 minutes walking test (6-MWT)], upper and lower extremity muscle strength (Dynamometer), dyspnea severity [Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea scale (MMRC)], fatigue severity [Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS)], QoL [The Short Form 36 questionnaire (SF-36)], PA [The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)], cardiovascular diseases knowledge level [Risk Factors in Cardiovascular Disease Knowledge Level (CARRF-KL)scale], and disease severity [Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)] of the individuals were evaluated.
Results: Demographic characteristics were similar in patients [49(38.50-58) years, 16M/20F] and healthy controls [51(46.25-55) y, 23M/13F] (p>0.05). The 6-MWT distance, upper and lower extremity muscle strength, SF-36 subscales, IPAQ, and CARRF-KL scores were significantly lower; FSS and MMRC scores were higher in patients than controls (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Patients with psoriasis had decreased functional exercise capacity, upper and lower extremity muscle strength, increased perception of fatigue and dyspnea, reduced PA level, QoL, and cardiovascular diseases knowledge level compared with healthy controls. Patients with psoriasis should be directed to cardiac rehabilitation programs.

PSÖRİYAZİSLİ HASTALARDA VE SAĞLIKLI KONTROLLERDE FONKSİYONEL EGZERSİZ KAPASİTESİ, PERİFERİK KAS KUVVETİ, NEFES DARLIĞI VE YAŞAM KALİTESİNİN KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI: KESİTSEL BİR ÇALIŞMA

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma psöriyazisli hastalar ve sağlıklı bireylerde fonksiyonel egzersiz kapasitesi, üst ve alt ekstremite kas kuvveti, dispne, yorgunluk, yaşam kalitesi (YK), fiziksel aktivite (FA) düzeyi ve kardiyovasküler hastalıklar bilgi düzeyinin karşılaştırılmasını amaçladı.
Yöntem: Çalışmaya 36 hasta ve 36 sağlıklı kontrol dâhil edildi. Bireylerin fonksiyonel egzersiz kapasitesi [6 dakika yürüme testi (6-DYT)], üst ve alt ekstremite kas kuvveti (Dinamometre), dispne [Modifiye Medikal Araştırma Kurulu Ölçeği (MMRC)], yorgunluk [Yorgunluk Şiddet Ölçeği (YŞÖ)], YK [Kısa Form 36 anketi (SF-36)], FA seviyesi [Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi (UFAA)], kardiyovasküler hastalıklar bilgi düzeyi [Kardiyovasküler Hastalıklar Risk Faktörleri Bilgi Düzeyi Ölçeği (KARRİF-BD)] ve hastalık şiddeti [Psoriasis Alan Şiddet İndeksi (PAŞİ)] değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Hasta [49(38.50-58) yıl, 16E/20K] ve sağlıklı kontrollerin [51(46.25-55) y, 23E/13K] demografik özellikleri benzerdi (p>0,05). Hastalarda 6-DYT mesafesi, üst ve alt ekstremite kas kuvveti, SF-36 alt ölçek, UFAA, ve KARRİF-BD puanları kontrollere göre anlamlı olarak daha düşük; YŞÖ ve MMRC skorları daha yüksekti (p<0,05).
Sonuç: Psöriasisli hastaların, sağlıklı kontrollere göre fonksiyonel egzersiz kapasitesi, üst ve alt ekstremite kas kuvveti azalmış, yorgunluk ve nefes darlığı algısı artmış, FA düzeyi, YK ve kardiyovasküler hastalıklar bilgi düzeyi azalmıştı. Psöriasisli hastalar kardiyak rehabilitasyon programlarına yönlendirilmelidir.
