About this trial
Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a heterogeneous group of chronic respiratory diseases that cause significant mortality and morbidity worldwide, characterized by diffuse inflammation in the lung parenchyma and vascular structures, can progress to fibrosis, have known or unknown etiology, and can develop secondary to systemic autoimmune connective tissue diseases other than diseases where the primary pathology is in the lung. The 6-minute peg-board and ring test, which was first developed to determine the upper extremity exercise capacity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, is an exercise test used to evaluate upper extremity functional exercise capacity in different lung diseases. It has been determined that there is no study on the validity and reliability of this test in individuals with ILD.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Upper extremity functional exercise capacity
To evaluate upper extremity functional exercise capacity, 6-minute pegboard and ring tests will be applied twice with 15-30 minute intervals. Before the test, individuals will be seated and rested for at least 10 minutes. Individuals will be provided with detailed information about the application of the test before the test. Patients will be informed not to interfere with rings that fall during the test and to continue the test. It will be explained that they can stop and rest if they feel too uncomfortable to continue the test, but this time will be included in the test duration. Before the actual test, subjects will be allowed to move up and down one loop as a practice to learn the test procedure. As a test result, the total number of rings worn at the end of six minutes will be recorded in numbers.

Upper Extremity Maximal Exercise Capacity
Upper extremity maximal exercise capacity will be assessed by symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise testing on arm ergometer at gradually increasing workload, and oxygen consumption will be measured during the test.
Time frame
Trough study completion, an average of 1 year2
Upper extremity activities of daily living
Limitations in upper extremity activities of daily living will be assessed with the Milliken Activities of Daily Living Scale (ACS), a patient-reported outcome measure. The Turkish validity-reliability study was conducted by Semin Akel and colleagues in 2012. The scale contains 47 items related to different activities of daily living, including meal preparation, eating, personal care, self-dressing, handling objects, house cleaning, laundry, and other activities. There is an integrated scoring procedure that uses the multiplication of each ability score by each requirement score, yielding a possible score of 15 for each item and a possible total integrated score of 705. The total score was used in this study. Lower scores indicate greater limitations in the ability to perform daily tasks with the upper extremities.

Dyspnea
The assessment of dyspnea at rest, during, and after exercise training will be made with the Modified Borg scale. The Modified Borg scale is a subjective scale and scores the shortness of breath at rest and/or during activity between 0-10. The lowest score of 0 (zero) indicates 'none', and the highest score of 10 (ten) indicates 'maximal' shortness of breath. The Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC) dyspnea scale will be used to determine the perception of dyspnea during activities of daily living. The London Chest Activities of Daily Living Scale, developed by Garrod et al. to examine dyspnea that occurs with daily living activities in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and whose Turkish validity and reliability were performed by Saka et al., will be used to assess shortness of breath that occurs during activities of daily living.
