Self Efficacy, Walking Ability, Gait Speed and Physical Activity in People With Chronic Lung Disease

Determining the Relationships Between Self-efficacy for Walking Ability, Gate Speed and Physical Activity in Patients With Chronic Lung Disease

• Status: Completed
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 70 (actual)
• Sponsor: Mayo Clinic · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 40 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Most patients with chronic lung disease underestimate their actual walking ability due to low confidence. To better understand the relationships between lung function, self-efficacy for walking (confidence in ability to walk a defined distance), actual walking ability for the same distance gait speed and physical activity level-PAL- (total energy expenditure/resting metabolic rate). Quality of life, self efficacy for activity questionnaires, physical activity level measurement, 4-meter gait speed and 6-minute walk distance will be measured.
