Comparing Centre-based, Remotely Supervised, and Self-administered STS Tests in Individuals With CRD
Sponsor: West Park Healthcare Centre
Summary
Despite evidence on the psychometric properties of sit-to-stand (STS) tests in chronic respiratory disease (CRD) populations, most studies have been conducted face-to-face. Given the recent emphasis on virtual pulmonary rehabilitation (VPR), there is a need to identify reliable and valid exercise tests that can be delivered in home-based settings, either supervised remotely or self-administered by patients. A repeated-measures crossover design will be used to test the home-based administration of STS tests. The 30-second STS (30-s STS) and 1-minute STS (1-min STS) tests will be randomly administered across three test conditions (centre-based, remotely supervised, and self-administered). Data will summarize the feasibility of remotely supervised and self-administered STS tests and compare the performances of centre-based tests with remotely supervised and self-administered versions of STS tests in patients with CRD.

Sit-to-Stand Test (STS)
The 30-s and 1-min STS tests are reliable, valid, and responsive tests for measuring functional exercise capacity in patients with lung disease. For the STS tests that are centre-based or supervised remotely, investigators will collect the total number of repetitions on the 30-s and 1-min STS tests, as well as the number and duration of rests within and between tests.
