What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • rehabilitation more the urban circuitOther

    included in a standard rehabilitation program + the urban circuit. A total of 32 urban walking circuits were developed jointly with the town hall of Mataró(124,000 in habitants)and were included in a triptych called "A PEU, FEM SALUT! Itineraris urbans per Mataró" http://www.mataro.cat/web/portal/ca/salut/salut_publica/itineraris/index

  • rehabilitation program but not given urbane circuitsOther

    Only rehabilitation program and general recommendations on physical activity and lifestyle . No urbans circuits.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. walked in meters in the six minute walking test (6MWT)

    The 6MWT was standardized following international recommendations. Oxygen saturation and heart rate were recorded throughout the test using a pulsioximeter (Digit ® Finger Oximeter, Smiths Medical PM, USA). Dyspnea was evaluated using the modified Borg scale at the beginning and end of the test

    Measured: Unlike walking meters of baseline and one year

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

walked in meters in the six minute walking test (6MWT) (time frame: Unlike walking meters of baseline and one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01854008, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 May 2013.
