NIRS device usage during 6MWT
It will be performed by placing a traffic cone as the sign of the turning point in a straight 30 meter long corridor, after patients have rested for a sufficient time (\> 30 minutes) by sitting in a chair. Participants will be asked to walk as fast as possible but without running along the corridor within 6 minutes. Before and after the test, the patient's fatigue and dyspnea conditions will be questioned using the Modified Borg Scale and blood pressure using a digital sphygmomanometer, and saturation and pulse measurement will be evaluated using finger pulse oximetry before, during and after the test. During the 6-minute walk test, the muscle oxygenation of the patients and the amount of muscle oxygen will be measured using Moxy (Fortiori Design LLC, Minnesota, USA) brand NIRS technology. During the walking test, the change in intramuscular oxygenation will be monitored and recorded with the company's software program.
Peripheral Muscle Strength Measurement
The muscle strength of shoulder flexors, abductors, elbow flexors, hip flexors, abductors, and knee extensors will be evaluated using a Lafayette® 01165 model electronic hand dynamometer. The force measurement will be repeated 3 times and it will be requested to maintain muscle strength against the dynamometer for at least 5 seconds in each trial. The best value out of 3 test results will be recorded
Pulmonary Function Test
Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) with desktop type spirometry for FVC (Forced Vital Capacity), Forced expiratory flow rate (FEV1), FEV1/FVC.
