Maximal Exercise Capacity, Physical Activity and Respiratory Muscle Strength in Peripheral Artery Disease

November 23, 2020 updated by: Meral Boşnak Güçlü, Gazi University

Assessment of Exercise Capacity, Physical Activity, Pulmonary Function, Peripheric and Respiratory Muscle Strength, Respiratory Muscle Endurance in Patient With Peripheral Artery Disease

The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the maximal and submaximal exercise capacity in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The secondary aim of the study is assessment of physical activity level, respiratory function, peripheral and respiratory muscle strength, respiratory muscle endurance, depression, quality of life, intermittent claudication and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with PAD.

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

Peripheral artery disease is characterized by reduced exercise capacity, physical activity level and intermittent claudication. The number of studies investigating maximal and submaximal exercise capacity and physical activity level in PAD is limited. There is also no study investigated pulmonary functions, respiratory muscle strength and endurance in this patient population. According to the sample size analysis 15 patients and 15 healthy individuals with similar demographic characteristics will be included the study. Patients and healthy individuals will be selected according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The assessments will be completed in two days.Maximal exercise capacity will be assessed using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), functional exercise capacity using six minute stepper test, physical activity using multi-sensor activity monitor, pulmonary function using spirometry, respiratory muscle strength using mouth pressure device, peripheral muscle strength using hand held dynamometer, respiratory muscle endurance using incremental threshold loading test, depression using Beck depression inventory (Turkish version), life quality using SF-36 Health Survey (Turkish version), intermittent claudication using Walking Impairment Questionnaire (Turkish version)

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
