Inflammatory Arthritis and Tango

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Spondyloarthritis (SA); Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
• Interventions: Other: Argentine tango

• Registration Number: NCT03840785
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand

Brief Summary

The hypothesis is that pleasure brought by argentine tango practice would increase total physical activity of patients with chronic inflammatory arthritis.

Detailed Description

Selection and inclusion of patients will be done by principal investigator of Rheumatology Department. After verification of inclusion and non-inclusion criteria by principal investigator and signature of consent, patients will be randomized by 1: 1 randomization (centralized randomization by statistician into 2 groups at M0). They will participate in sessions in a deferred manner due to two per week for each group:

* Interventional "A" group: 48 sessions (on average 2/week) performed from M0 to M6 in 30 patients.

* Control "B" group: 24 sessions (on average 2/week) performed from M3 to M6 in 30 patients.

Patients of "B" group will be not performing sessions with "A" group patients. Sessions lasting about 60 minutes will be proposed from Monday to Friday in a room planned from this activity within the CHU. They will be adapted and personalized according to each one. Evaluations will be carried out for group 1 (interventional) before the first session of tango at M0, before the session at M3 and at the end of the protocol at M6. The same evaluations will be carried out for group B (control) at M0, before first session of tango at M3 and at the end of the protocol.

Assessment of pain and stress will be done before and after each session. Final assessment will be done at 6 months after randomization. Fitness assessment and tango sessions will be conducted by an argentine tango teacher

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
interventional group A	Argentine tango	2 tango session per week during 6 month (M0 to M6)
Control group B	Argentine tango	2 tango session per week during 3 month (M3 to M6)

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in total physical activity time	between month 0 and month3	Total physical activity measured by Modified Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) between M0 and M3. Modified Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) questionnaire provides information on the time spent on different activities: work activity, utilitarian travel, hobbies and home-based activities. A specific energy expenditure is associated with each physical activity, which makes it possible to estimate the overall energy expenditure of the patients. It also provides information on sedentary time.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in total physical activity time	at 3 months and 6 months	Recording of total physical activity over a week by an accelerometer worn at the waist
Physical activity time of light intensity	at 3 months and 6 months	measured by an accelerometer and measured by the modified GPAQ questionnaire (Global Physical Activity Questionnaire).Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) provides information on the time spent on different activities: work activity, utilitarian travel, hobbies and home-based activities.
Physical activity time of moderate intensit	at 3 months and 6 months	measured by an accelerometer and measured by the modified GPAQ questionnaire (Global Physical Activity Questionnaire). Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) provides information on the time spent on different activities: work activity, utilitarian travel, hobbies and home-based activities.
Physical activity time of high intensity	at 3 months and 6 months	: measured by an accelerometer and measured by the modified GPAQ. Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) provides information on the time spent on different activities: work activity, utilitarian travel, hobbies and home-based activities. questionnaire (Global Physical Activity Questionnaire)
Sedentary time by the modified GPAQ questionnaire (Global Physical Activity)Questionnaire)	at 3 months and 6 months	Recording sedentary time over a week by an accelerometer worn at the waist
