- Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Parallel AssignmentIntervention Model Description: Exercises will be applied with the telerehabilitation method to the individuals included in the study. Video and audio communication will be provided by free and widely used programs such as Whatsapp or Telegram. Pulse oximetry, tripod and exercise material will be given to each individual included in the study by the researcher. Individuals included in the study will be randomly divided into two groups. Exercises in both groups will be done 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Before and after each exercise session, the heart rate and oxygen saturation values of the patients will be measured by pulse oximetry, and their perception of dyspnea and leg fatigue according to the Borg scale will be recorded. The first and last evaluation of individuals will be done face to face.Masking: Double (Participant, Care Provider)Primary Purpose: Treatment
Participation Requirements

- Between 50 years and 80 years

The most prominent independent risk factor for cognitive impairment in COPD patients is reduced oxygen availability as a result of lung dysfunction. The prevalence of cognitive impairment in COPD patients ranges from 10% to 61%. A wide variety of tools have been developed for screening cognitive functions. The most widely used tests covering multiple cognitive domains are the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). When two tasks are performed at the same time, they compete for sources of attention, resulting in decreased performance on one or two tasks. Balance or postural control is a complex skill required for independent mobility and preventing falls. Balance performance naturally decreases with age; however, certain conditions are associated with more pronounced and rapid declines. Balance problems and fall risk are increased in COPD patients.From this perspective aim of this study is to assess the effect of square-step exercise and strengthening exercise applied with telerehabilitation on cognitive status and balance in patients with COPD.
