About this study
Official title: Resistance Training in Patients With Psoriatic Arthritis Improves Function, Disease Activity and Quality of Life
The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of resistance training in improving functional capacity, muscle strength, quality of life and disease activity in patients with PSA.
Read the detailed description
The IG patients performed resistance exercises for the following muscles group: upper limbs, lower limbs and trunk. It was used a machine "leg extension" for the training on the lower limbs. For upper limbs we used a pulley triceps machine and front pull in addition to free weights (dumbbells).
In order to perform the exercise program the study followed all the recommendations established by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) (Ratamess et al., 2009). It was carried out two exercises for major muscle groups and one exercise for small muscles. The exercises were divided in 3 sets of 12 repetitions for each muscle group. The intensity of the exercises were 60% of one-maximum repetition (1RM).
The exercise program involved pectoral exercises: crucifix and seat supine; biceps: alternated screw; triceps: triceps pulley; back: standing handsaw and pulled ahead; quadriceps: leg extensor and finally gluteo: standing hips extension.
Control Group (CG) The control group was kept in a waiting list while continued with the standard pharmacological treatment during all the study. The patients were instructed to maintain their daily activities and to avoid any other non-pharmacological treatment. The exercise program was offered to the control group in the end of the study.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of resistance training in improving functional capacity, muscle strength, quality of life and disease activity in patients with PSA.
Detailed description
The IG patients performed resistance exercises for the following muscles group: upper limbs, lower limbs and trunk. It was used a machine "leg extension" for the training on the lower limbs. For upper limbs we used a pulley triceps machine and front pull in addition to free weights (dumbbells).
In order to perform the exercise program the study followed all the recommendations established by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) (Ratamess et al., 2009). It was carried out two exercises for major muscle groups and one exercise for small muscles. The exercises were divided in 3 sets of 12 repetitions for each muscle group. The intensity of the exercises were 60% of one-maximum repetition (1RM).
The exercise program involved pectoral exercises: crucifix and seat supine; biceps: alternated screw; triceps: triceps pulley; back: standing handsaw and pulled ahead; quadriceps: leg extensor and finally gluteo: standing hips extension.
Control Group (CG) The control group was kept in a waiting list while continued with the standard pharmacological treatment during all the study. The patients were instructed to maintain their daily activities and to avoid any other non-pharmacological treatment. The exercise program was offered to the control group in the end of the study.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
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?
Change in the functional capacity (time frame: Baseline, after 45 and 90 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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?
