Group Intervention Description Home Exercise EP Group Home Exercise Program Participants in this group will follow an at home personalized EP for up to 12 weeks. Short EP Group Short Exercise Program Participants in this group will be enrolled in the short EP program.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Functional Strength/Endurance as Measured by 30-second chair-stand test Baseline and up to 12 weeks Determines how many times a person can rise from a chair and sit down again in 30 seconds while keeping their arms crossed over their chest. The test will assess lower body strength and endurance and will be reported using a composite score of the number of times completed.
Change in Functional Strength/Endurance as measured by six-minute walk test Baseline and up to 12 weeks Six-minute walk measures overall functioning capacity, and lower body muscle strength/ endurance, with a composite score reported in meters.
Change in Functional Strength as measured by hand grip strength test Baseline and up to 12 weeks It is a measure of upper body muscular strength measured in kilograms.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Quality of life impairment as measured by the DLQI Baseline, up to 12 weeks Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) has a total score ranging from 0 to 30 with the lower score indicating higher health related quality of life.
Change in Physical activity as measured by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Baseline, up to 12 weeks IPAQ assesses 3 types of physical activity undertaken across the 4 domains- leisure time physical activity; domestic and gardening (yard) activities; work-related physical activity; transport-related physical activity- in the previous 7 days. The 3 types of activity assessed are walking, moderate-intensity activities and vigorous-intensity activities. The result s is not reported in scales. Computation of the total score for the IPAQ requires summation of the duration (in minutes) and frequency (days) of the 3 types of activities across the 4 domains. Higher result indicates higher physical activity in the last 7 days
Quality of life impairment as measured by the HiSQOL Baseline, up to 12 weeks Hidradenitis Suppurativa Quality of Life (HiSQOL) has a total score ranging from 0 to 68 with the lower score indicating higher health related quality of life.
Average pain as assessed by the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Up to 8 weeks The average pain will be measured using the NRS with scores ranging from 0-10 with the higher score indicating more severe pain.
Change in Level of Activity as measured by the average number of steps daily Baseline, up to 12 weeks Average number of steps daily will be measured with a pedometer and will be reported.
Change in Severity of HS score using the IHS-4 Baseline, up to 12 weeks The International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System (IHS4) measures HS severity as mild (0-3), moderate (4-10), severe (≥11). Higher score indicate increased severity.
