Home Exercise Program

This study investigated the effects of a home balance training intervention on people with multiple sclerosis (MS). This quasi-experimental repeated-measures study involved 14 ambulatory community-dwelling individuals with MS. Subjects were assessed on three separate occasions: before and after a 6-week control period and after a 6-week home exercise program. After the intervention, subjects demonstrated significant improvement in measures of balance, including the Berg Balance Scale and specific components of the Sensory Organization and Limits of Stability Tests. In conclusion, a multidimensional home exercise program can improve certain measures of balance in individuals with MS who have mild to moderate disability. Whether these improvements lead to improved quality of life or a reduction in fall risk is yet to be determined.

Objective:To determine exercise efficacy in improving dynamic balance in community-dwelling elderly with a fall history.Methods:Thirty-five participants were randomly assigned to a treatment (TG; n = 19, 77 ± 7 yr) or control group (CG; n = 16, 75 ± 8 yr). The TG received an individualized home exercise program, and the CG received phone calls twice per week for 12 weeks. Participants’ dynamic-balance abilities— directional control (DC), endpoint excursion (EE), maximum excursion (ME), reaction time (RT), and movement velocity (MV)—were measured using the Balance Master at 75% limits of stability. Functional reach (FR) was also measured.Results:At 12 weeks the TG demonstrated significant improvements in DC (p < .0025), EE (p < .0005), and ME (p < .0005), but the CG did not. No significant group differences were found for MV, RT, or FR.Conclusions:Excursion distances and directional control improved but not reaction time, suggesting that exercises requiring quick responses may be needed.

Lung Transplant Recipients

We evaluated the feasibility, safety, system usability, and intervention acceptability of Lung Transplant Go (LTGO), an 8-week in-home exercise intervention for lung transplant recipients using a telerehabilitation platform, and described changes in physical function and physical activity from baseline to post-intervention. The intervention was delivered to lung transplant recipients in their home via the Versatile and Integrated System for TeleRehabilitation (VISYTER). The intervention focused on aerobic and strengthening exercises tailored to baseline physical function. Participants improved walk distance (6-minute walk distance), balance (Berg Balance Scale), lower body strength (30-second chair stand test) and steps walked (SenseWear Armband®). No adverse events were reported. Participants rated the program highly positively in regard to the technology and intervention. The telerehabilitation exercise program was feasible, safe, and acceptable. Our findings provide preliminary support for the LTGO intervention to improve physical function and promote physical activity in lung transplant recipients.
