NCT03636815 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: 201803106RIND
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 62
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

To retrospectively investigate the effect of physical therapy intervention on improving physical function of patients post left ventricular assist device (LVAD) through electronic medical record survey

Conditions

Left Ventricular Assist Device; Physical Therapy

Keywords

Left ventricular assist device; Physical therapy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in walking function

  By using Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), we can obtain the maximum distance that patient can afford walking. In 6 minutes, they should walk as many as they can, on a 15-meter level corridor, assisted device (e.g. cane) can be used if they need. During the test, the patient can stop or rest if they want.

  Baseline, two weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Change in Rating Perceived Exertion (RPE)

  Baseline, two weeks

• Change in heart rate

  Baseline, two weeks

• Change in blood pressure

  Baseline, two weeks

Interventions
