Summary

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a restrictive lung disease characterized by impaired lung function, exercise limitation and skeletal muscle dysfunction. There is limited data on skeletal muscle function in ILD, most of which are focused on the lower limb muscles. The aim of this study were to evaluated the change of pectoralis muscle strength and relationship of pulmonary function with pectoralis muscle strength.

Detailed description

This study consisted of intervention and control groups. Thirty one patients with ILD were included in the patient's group and 37 healthy volunteers in the control group. All participants were selected from the geriatric population. Demographic and cardiopulmonary physiotherapy assessment of all participants were performed. Lung function test, maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure and pectoralis muscle strength were measured in participants of both groups. All measurements were performed once.

Conditions

• Interstitial Lung Disease
• Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
• Sarcoidosis, Pulmonary
• Geriatric

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Assessment of pulmonary function and pectoralis muscle strength	In both groups, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and FEV1 / FVC ratio were measured with portable spirometer according to the guidelines of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS). Maximal inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory pressure (MEP) were evaluated with mouth pressure device as per ATS/ERS guidelines. Sensation of dyspnea was assessed with Modified medical council research scale. Pectoralis muscle strength were measured isometrically using with digital hand held dynamometer.
