What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
continuous positive airway pressureBehavioural
continuous positive airway pressure therapy for a period of 12 weeks, all patients with in this group are required to utilize the CPAP machine for at least 4 hours each night
free walking exercise and continuous positive airway pressureBehavioural
patients will receive continuous positive airway pressure therapy for a period of 12 weeks, all patients with in this group are required to utilize the CPAP machine for at least 4 hours each night. Also, patients will perform walking exercise for 30 mint, daily for 12 weeks
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| continuous positive airway pressure therapy | Active comparator | The continuous positive airway pressure therapy equipment is used for 12 weeks, all patients in this group groups must utilize the CPAP machine for 4 hours each night. Receives: Behavioral: continuous positive airway pressure |
| Free walking & continuous positive airway pressure therapy | Experimental | Each patient is required to walk 30 minutes, seven days a week for 12 weeks.
\& The continuous positive airway pressure therapy equipment is used for 12 weeks, all patients in both groups must utilize the CPAP machine for 4 hours each night. Receives: Behavioral: free walking exercise and continuous positive airway pressure |
