The aim of this study was to compare respiratory function, muscle oxygenation, functional capacity, peripheral muscle strength, body composition, and frailty in kidney transplant recipients with and without inspiratory muscle weakness.
Patients with kidney transplantation
At least 6 months after the kidney transplant
Not having regular exercise habits
Voluntary participation in the study
Having a musculoskeletal problem that may interfere with the tests
Having neurological impairment
Having chronic lung disease
Having had any cardiovascular event in the last 6 months
Kidney transplant recipients will be included.
Case-only
Cross-sectional
Not listed
Respiratory muscle strength
Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) will be measured using a portable mouth pressure measuring device.
Respiratory muscle strength
Maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) will be measured using a portable mouth pressure measuring device.
Functional capacity
Will be evaluated with 6 minute walk test.
Peripheral muscle strength
Knee extensor strength will be measured using a hand dynamometer.
Forced expiratory volume in one second
Respiratory function will be evaluated using spirometry. Forced expiratory volume in one second will be recorded.
Forced vital capacity
Respiratory function will be evaluated using spirometry. Forced vital capacity will be recorded.
Forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity
Respiratory function will be evaluated using spirometry. Forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity will be recorded.
Peak expiratory flow
Respiratory function will be evaluated using spirometry. Peak expiratory flow will be recorded.
