Effects of Physical Activity Counseling After an Exacerbation in COPD
2015年4月30日 更新者：Marc Decramer、KU Leuven
The Effects of a Physical Activity Counseling Program Immediately After an Exacerbation in Patients With COPD.
Severe exacerbations are prevalent in a subgroup of patients with COPD and generally warrant a hospitalization.
During the hospitalization, patients are extremely physically inactive with only a limited recovery one month after discharge.
Physical inactivity is associated with negative health benefits.
Therefore intervening in the period after and exacerbation seems useful to improve the levels of physical activity.
Physical activity counseling and real-time feedback have already been applied in stable patients with COPD, with beneficial effects.The present study will investigate whether this specific intervention will help to improve the activity level in patients after an acute exacerbation.
Further we investigated the effects of the intervention on improvements in functional exercise capacity.
研究概览
详细说明
After signing the informed consent, the patients will be randomized into a control group, receiving usual care, or the intervention group receiving real-time feedback and physical activity counseling.
Intervention: Physical activity counseling will be provided by 3 weekly telephone contacts based on the step count from the Fitbit Ultra. In agreement with the patient and based on the step counts a patients provided, a new goal for the next week was set. The goal was to strive for the highest possible level of physical activity during one month.

干预/治疗 |
|---|---|
|
实验性的：Physical activity
The fitbit Ultra was used to provide real-time feedback on physical activity.
An experienced physiotherapist contacted the subjects 3 times a week to receive information about the amount of steps from the previous days.
In agreement with the patient, a new goal for the coming weeks was set and patients were motivated to achieve their individual goal.
|
Counseling about physical activity will only be provided in the intervention group by 3 weekly telephone contacts.
Based on the information the physiotherapist receives, he or she will adapt the goal (in agreement with the patient) and motivate the patient to reach the individual goal.

安慰剂比较：Usual Care
During the hospital stay, the patients in the control group will be informed about the beneficial effects of being physically inactive.They will not receive feedback about their activities performed and will not be stimulated to become more active.

Improvement in physical activity
大体时间：1 month
|
The Dynaport MoveMonitor, a valid device in patients with COPD, was used to accurately measure the level of physical activity.
The device was provided 3 times to the patients (baseline, after 2 weeks, after 1 month).
The amount of steps, measured by this device, was used as the outcome measure.
