What this Trial Is About
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.
