Multicomponent Telerehabilitation for Veterans with Complex Health Conditions

This study is testing a MultiComponent TeleRehabilitation (MCTR) program for older Veterans (60 years and above) who have multiple chronic health conditions (multimorbidity) and difficulty with physical activities (physical deconditioning). The MCTR program includes motivational interviewing, physical therapy exercises, and education on general health topics. Researchers want to see if this program can improve your physical function, which will be measured by a 2-minute step test at 6, 12, and 24 weeks. The study aims to enroll 126 participants. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
This is a two-arm, parallel randomized trial with a crossover design, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to either the MCTR group or a control group. The study plans to enroll 126 participants.
What's involved
If you are in the MCTR group, you will participate in a 24-week program. If you are in the control group, you will be offered a physical therapy consult at the end of your 24-week study involvement.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your physical function will be measured at 6, 12, and 24 weeks after starting the program.

What this trial measures

  • 2 Minute Step TestChange from baseline to 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks compared to the control group.

    This is a functional performance test for aerobic endurance. It requires participants to march in place for 2 minutes (alternating legs), and the score is the number of repetitions completed on the right leg. Scores are continuous, and higher scores indicate better aerobic endurance.
