Accessing Mobility Using Wearable Sensors

Description

This study will examine whether wearable sensors can be used to track changes in cognitive-motor performance in response to a disease or an intervention. The investigators specific aims are twofold, first aim to explore whether and how a clinical condition such as Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) may impact motor-cognitive performance measurable using validated wearable devices (e.g., LEGSys, BalanSENS, and Frailty Meter). Second, the investigators will explore whether an exercise intervention provided via tele-medicine (tele-rehabilitation) can enhance motor-cognitive performance.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Any individual 18 years old or 65+ older is eligible to participate.
  • * Must be diagnosed with a chronic illness such as COPD or CHF.
  • * Should be refereed to one of the tele-rehabilitation program offered at VA-Houston.
  • * Non-ambulatory (unable to walk with or without assistance a distance of at least 10 meter).
  • * Unlikely to fully comply with the protocol (e.g., long-distance travel if multiple follow-up visits are required)
  • * Unwilling to provide informed consent.
  • * Severe visual and hearing problems who may not be able to interact with tele-rehabilitation.
  • * Unstable medical region (those who may change medication over next 12 weeks).
  • * Severe cognitive impairment and psychiatric problems who may not be able to follow tele-rehabilitation instructions based on judgement of clinical investigators.
  • * Participating in another active intervention that may affect cognitive-motor performance, and those who do not have capacity to consent.
