Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: It is to determine the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation by telerehabilitation method in bronchiectasis patients. The cases meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomized and divided into two groups, the groups will be named as Telerehabilitation Exercise Group (TRGr) and Control Group (CGr).

Detailed description: Patients diagnosed with bronchiectasis by HRCT by a chest diseases specialist and referred to pulmonary rehabilitation by determining the severity of bronchiectasis with the Modified Reiff Score and Bronchiectasis Severity Index Score will be included in the study.

The cases meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomized and divided into two groups, the groups will be named as Telerehabilitation Exercise Group (TRGr) and Control Group (KGr). TRGr will be given online exercises, synchronized 3 days a week, accompanied by a physiotherapist, via videoconference on the group smartphone. As for the KGr group, a pulmonary rehabilitation information brochure will be given to after the initial evaluation. They will be asked to do the exercises on the brochure. The exercise period will be 8 weeks for both groups. Standard medical treatments for both groups will continue.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Aged 18 and over
* Diagnosed with bronchiectasis by HRCT
* Stable clinical state at the time of admission without infection or exacerbation in the previous 3 weeks
* Know how to use technological devices

Exclusion Criteria:

* A history of effort-related syncope or any comorbidity (such as severe orthopedic or neurological deficits or unstable heart disease) that precludes exercise training
* Patients with systemic diseases other than bronchiectasis that also affect the lungs, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, infection, interstitial lung disease, lung cancer, heart and kidney failure, which will cause shortness of breath
* Having balance problems that prevent them from doing exercises
* Participation in a pulmonary rehabilitation program within the past 12 months
