Plain-language summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation scapula-pelvis coupling pattern exercise on Respiratory capacity and quality of life in elderly people aged 65 years or older and to use it in clinical intervention. The hypotheses of the study were set as follows: First, PNF scapula-pelvic coupling pattern and Chest cage expansion exercise would have an effect on respiratory capacity for the elderly. Second, the PNF scapula-pelvic coupling pattern and Chest cage expansion exercise would have an effect on Chest cage expansion test.
