Physical activity level and sedentary behavior in patients with bronchiectasis: A systematic review of outcome measures and determinants.

Background: Changes in respiratory functions negatively affect the physical activity (PA) levels of patients with bronchiectasis. Therefore, detecting the most frequently used assessments of PA is essential as determining related factors and improving PA. This review study aimed to investigate the PA levels, compare levels with the recommended PA guidelines, determine the outcome measurements of PA and examine the determinants related to PA in patients with bronchiectasis.

The preliminary results of physiotherapy scoliosis-specific exercises on spine joint position sense in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: It has been observed that there are difficulties in maintaining spinal harmony in the absence of proprioceptive information, which has an important role in achieving postural control in scoliosis. One of the tests used to evaluate proprioceptive mechanisms is joint position reproduction.

Objectives: The main aim of our study was to investigate the effect of physiotherapy scoliosis-specific exercise (PSSE) on spine joint reposition (JR) sense.
