Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
6 Minute Walk Test
Time Frame: 8 weeks
The six minute walk test 96 The six minute walking test (6MWT) was developed by the American Thoracic Society and it was officially introduced in 2002, coming along with a comprehensive guideline. The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity. The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is commonly used to measure the functional exercise capacity in chronic patients with cardiovascular disease.
The Beck Depression Inventory Scale
Time Frame: 8 weeks
The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI, BDI-1A, BDI-II), created by Aaron T. Beck, is a 21-question multiple-choice self-report inventory, one of the most widely used psychometric tests for measuring the severity of depression. Its development marked a shift among mental health professionals, who had until then, viewed depression from a psychodynamic perspective, instead of it being rooted in the patient's own thoughts. Each question had a set of at least four possible responses, ranging in intensity. Higher total scores indicate more severe depressive symptom.
SF- 36 SF-36
Time Frame: 8 weeks
SF- 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) is an outcome measure instrument that is often used, well-researched, self-reported measure of health. It stems from a study called the Medical Outcomes Study for the objective measure of the quality of life. It comprises 36 questions that cover eight domains of health. The SF-36 is often used as a measure of a person or population's quality of life (QOL).
