Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Polar H10 Heart Rate Monitor

    Device

    Wearable sensors to capture movement-based data during physical therapy session. The Polar H10 Heart Rate Monitor measures heart rate and will transfer the data to the mHealth app.

  • Empatica EmbracePlus

    Device

    Wearable sensors to capture movement-based data during physical therapy session. The Empatica EmbracePlus measures physiological parameters and will transfer the data to the mHealth app.

  • Apple Watch Ultra 2

    Device

    Wearable sensors to capture movement-based data during physical therapy session. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 measures heart rate, will transfer the data to the mHealth app, and will provide an alert when the heart rate is too high or too low.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The proportion of patients who achieve at least 20 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise during a 1-hour physical therapy session at Visit 2 is greater than 75%.

Moderate intensity exercise is defined as a score of 3-5 on the Modified BORG CR10 Rating Perceived Exertion (RPE)

Time frame
Day 1

Secondary outcomes

1

Muscle strength - Grip strength

hand-held dynamometer, Newtons; Measures upper body strength

Time frame
Baseline
2

Muscle strength - Chair stand test

Number of times from chair sitting to standing in 30 seconds; Measures lower body strength and balance

Time frame
Baseline
3

Physical performance - Gait speed

meters per second; Measures walking speed over a short distance

Time frame
Baseline
4

Physical performance - Timed up and go

seconds; time to stand up from a chair, walk a short distance, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down; Assess mobility and balance
