What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 6 Minute Walk Test

    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.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. The Beck Depression Inventory Scale

    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.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. SF- 36 SF-36

    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).

    Measured: 8 weeks
