Study Arms (2)

supervised exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

The group gets 10 supervised exerciseclasses at the physiotherapy clinic in addition to homebased exercises

Other: supervised exercise

homebased exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

The group gets 1 supervised exerciseclass before they do all their exercises at home

Other: homebased exercises

Interventions

This group will receive 10 classes of supervised exercise in the 6 weeks intervention. In this classes the patients will be with a physiotherapist that will adjust their home-exercise program and make sure they do the exercises in a good way. They will receive 4-6 exercises they shall do 3 times with 30 repetitions, 2 times every day. If necessary, they should also do stretching exercises

supervised exercise

This group will receive 1 class of supervised exercise at the beginning of the 6 weeks intervention. In this class the patients will be with a physiotherapist that will put together a home-exercise program and make sure they do the exercises in a good way. They will receive 4-6 exercises they shall do 3 times with 30 repetitions, 2 times every day. If necessary, they should also do stretching exercises

homebased exercises
