Home-Based Pulmonary Rehab for Patients With Pulmonary Fibrosis (EXPLORE-IPF)
Outpatient (phase 2) pulmonary rehab is an important, but mostly underutilized intervention to improve physical function in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Of those individuals who complete phase 2 pulmonary rehab, only a small cohort continues with any type of maintenance exercise therapy (phase 3). This is largely due to personal factors, such as access to transportation, weather, scheduling difficulties, and cost.
Little is known about how to enhance physical activity among patients with IPF. In addition, no studies have investigated the long-term maintenance strategies of physical training in patients with IPF. Thus, the purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a home-based, pulmonary rehab program for patients with IPF. A randomized, blinded, clinical trial (RCT) design with two arms -- Wii Fit Plus exergame program and cognitive video gaming, with no active whole body movement involved - will be used to investigate the benefits of a home-based exergame program on improving pulmonary-related function and symptoms in patients with IPF.
