This study was aimed to evaluate the patients undergoing lung transplantation under the International Classification of Functionality, Disability and Health (ICF) and to examine the relationships between the age at which lung transplant recipients were transplanted and recipients' comorbidity levels and body structure and functions, activity and participation level.
After lung transplantation, many complications related to various reasons are observed in patients in the long term. In this study, the severity of fatigue, limitation of daily living activities, kinesophobia, impaired sleep quality, anxiety and depression level, fragility level, balance and functional capacity in lung transplant recipients; investigators aimed to examine the relationship between the age at which the patient was transplanted and the level of comorbidity. Although there are studies on comorbidities, quality of life, daily living activities and participation level, anxiety and depression level, sleep quality, balance and physical fitness level in lung transplant recipients, kinesiophobia upper extremity functional performance in patients who have undergone lung transplantation surgery, COVID-19 infection There are no studies evaluating the anxiety associated with the disease. No study evaluating body structure functions, activity and participation level based on ICF in lung transplantation has been encountered. In our study, patients with at least 3 months past lung transplantation and without orthopedic and mental problems will be evaluated. It will be made as a single evaluation. The last pulmonary function test results of the patients, comorbidity conditions, fatigue, respiratory quality of life, coronavirus anxiety status, sleep quality, kinesophobia will be evaluated by questionnaires. Lower extremity dynamic balance and mobility will be evaluated with 1 minute sit-to-stand test, timed up and go test. Upper extremity functionality will be evaluated with a 6-minute pegboard and ring test.
