In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Education, Fitbit/FitViz, physiotherapist counselling. and Same intervention with a 9-week delay for Joint Diseases and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 118 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Being physically active can reduce pain and fatigue, improve mobility and enhance quality of life in people with arthritis, but adherence to an active lifestyle is poor, with less than half of people with arthritis being active. The primary goal of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the efficacy of a physical activity coaching model to improve physical activity participation and reduce sedentary time in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. This model combines the use of a Fitbit Flex (wireless physical activity tracker) paired with a FitViz application, a group education session, and telephone counselling by a physiotherapist.
