About this study
Official title: Effects of Home-based Exercise Rehabilitation on Healthcare Utilization in HeartMate 3TM Patients: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study (MOVE-LVAD)

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Home-based Exercise Rehabilitation.Behavioural
Based on physical therapist or exercise physiologist assessment, subjects will receive an individualized exercise prescription for frequency, duration, and intensity of walking and strength training (including exercises using light-weight hand-weights and upper and lower body exercises using resistance bands). Research team will provide updated exercise prescription based on Garmin watch/Datos app activity data and Datos app data (including Borg scale).
Usual CareBehavioural
Patients receive a standardized recommendation to increase their walking activity to 30 minutes 5 days/week.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Home-based Exercise Rehabilitation | Experimental | Not described Receives: Behavioral: Home-based Exercise Rehabilitation. |
| Usual Care | Active comparator | Not described Receives: Behavioral: Usual Care |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mean number of clinic visits
Healthcare utilization will be measured as the sum of all-cause rehospitalizations, outpatient VAD Clinic visits and emergency room visits room visits
Measured: 1 year
Secondary outcomes (4)
Mean number of days out of the hospital
Measured: 1 year
Mean change in the number of daily steps taken
Steps will be tracked using the Garmin watch. The Garmin watch uses Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking and an accelerometer to continuously monitor activity and provides data on average number of steps per day.
Measured: 1 year
Mean change 6-minute walk distance
Measured: baseline to 1 year
Mean change in number of participants with improved quality of life
Quality of life will be measured using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-12 (KCCQ-12). The scale ranges from 12-70 with higher scores indicating better quality of life.
Measured: baseline to 1 year
