Summary

In addition to conventional pulmonary rehabilitation, virtual reality will be applied during the hospitalization period of individuals hospitalized for COPD exacerbation. It is aimed to get more efficiency from the interventions in this short time.

Detailed description

Subjects with COPD exacerbation will be divided two groups. Group-1 will exercise with a bicycle ergometer until fatigue in addition to pulmonary rehabilitation. Group-2 will do the same exercises. Subjects in Group-2 will use virtual reality simulation, which is designed as cycling in the forest while cycling. Treatment will continue until discharge. CAT score, mMRC dyspnea score, hospital anxiety and depression score and London chest daily living activity score will be examined before and after treatment.
