The Turkish version of the LCADL scale is reliable and valid in obstructive lung disease. The LCADL scale will be beneficial in existing pulmonary rehabilitation programs aiming to improve functional status. We believe that using the Turkish LCADL scale as an outcome measure in pulmonary rehabilitation programs will serve as an indicator of rehabilitation efficacy for individual patients.
