This is a pilot study testing whether supervised exercise and education for chronic lung disease works just as well when delivered at home over video (using Zoom) compared to in-person visits at a clinic. The study will randomly assign about 30 adults to one of three groups: home-based remote supervision, in-person clinic supervision, or a control group that receives written instructions to exercise at home on their own.
After people complete a traditional outpatient rehabilitation program for lung disease, many struggle to keep exercising on their own at home. This study is testing whether having a therapist supervise your exercises remotely—rather than requiring you to travel to a clinic—might make it easier and more affordable for people to stick with their exercise routine long-term.
If you are randomly selected for the in-person group, you would attend supervised exercise sessions at a clinic where a therapist guides you through exercises, answers questions, and provides education. If you are selected for the home group, you would do the same exercises and education, but participate in supervised video sessions using Zoom from your home (the study will loan you an iPad if you need one). If you are in the control group, you'll receive written instructions to exercise at home and get phone check-ins from the study team. All participants will have assessments at the start, middle, and end of the study. The study lasts 8 weeks, and free parking and a $50 gift card are provided to all participants.
