Comparison of Upper Extremity Function, Physical Activity Levels and Peripheral Muscle Strength, Fear of Movement, Balance, Activities of Daily Living and Quality of Life in Patients With Pacemakers According to Pacemaker Type

Erol Olcok Corum Training and Research Hospital60 enrolled

Overview

While research and clinical practice have demonstrated the objective benefits of pacemaker use on mortality, morbidity, and quality of life, some patients do not experience the expected level of improvement following device implantation. The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of device implantation on daily living activities, upper extremity functions, peripheral muscle strength, balance problems, fear of movement and quality of life.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Evaluation of upper extremity functional capacity

6 Minute Peg Board ve Ring Testi - 6PBRT

Time frame: 1 years

Evaluation of peripheral muscle strength

Jamar Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer (Baseline Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer, Model: 12-0240, Fabrication Enterprises INC. White Plains, NY 10602 U.S.A.)

Time frame: 1 years

Evaluation of balance

Time Up and Go Test - TUG

Time frame: 1 years

Evaluation of fear of movement

Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart- TSK- HEART / The person receives a total score between 17 and 68. A high score on the scale indicates a high level of kinesiophobia.

Time frame: 1 years

Evaluation of physical activity levels

International Pyhsical Activity Questionnaire Short Form, IPAQ / It is calculated using the metabolic equivalent method (MET). There are three different categories. The first category is inactive (\<600 MET-minute/week), the second category is minimally active (600-300 MET-minute/week) and the last category is always active (\<3000 MET-minute/week).

Time frame: 1 years

Evaluation of activities of daily living

Performance Measure for Activities of Daily Living-8 for Patient with Mild Symptomatic Heart Failure- PMADL-8 / The total score ranges from 8-32, with a high score indicating a level of limitation in activities of daily living.

Time frame: 1 years

Evaluation of quality of life

Short Form- 36 -SF-36 / Each sub-parameter is scored between 0 and 100. A high score indicates that the individual has a high quality of life.
