Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Backward Walking Group
Conventional therapy + Backward Walking Training
|
The training speed will start at the basic walking speed and will increase by 5% of the starting speed each week. The training, which will take 30 minutes, will be as follows: 5 minutes forward walking (warm-up phase), 20 minutes backward walking (intervention phase) and 5 minutes forward (cooling phase). -three times a week for six weeks |
Other: Forward Walking Group
Conventional therapy + Forward Walking Training
|
The training speed will start at the basic walking speed and will increase by 5% of the starting speed each week. It will be in the form of walking forward for 30 minutes. -three times a week for six weeks |

Time Frame: 6 weeks
|
Pulmonary function will be evaluated with the spirometry.
Dynamic lung volume measurements will be made according to American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria.
With the device, forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) will be evaluated.
|
6 weeks
|
Pulmonary function (FEV1 / FVC)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
|
Pulmonary function will be evaluated with the spirometry.
Dynamic lung volume measurements will be made according to American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria.

With the device, flow rate 25-75% of forced expiratory volume (FEF 25-75%) will be evaluated.
|
6 weeks
|
Pulmonary function (Peak flow rate (PEF))
Time Frame: 6 weeks
|
Pulmonary function will be evaluated with the spirometry.
Dynamic lung volume measurements will be made according to American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria.
With the device, peak flow rate (PEF) will be evaluated.
|
6 weeks
|
