An interventional study of telerehabilitation in Non Communicable Chronic Diseases, sponsored by Fundacion Universitaria Maria Cano. Completed at 1 site in Colombia. Open to participants aged 60 Years to 100 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-02-03.

Currently, the older adult population faces an increase in the prevalence of cardiopulmonary diseases, which negatively impact their quality of life by limiting their ability to perform daily activities and affecting their physical and emotional well-being. In particular, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among older adults in Colombia. Despite advances in pharmacological treatment and medical care, physical rehabilitation remains an essential component in the management of these diseases, with physical exercise serving as one of its fundamental pillars. However, access to physical rehabilitation programs for the older adult population, particularly in rural or hard-to-reach areas, continues to pose a significant challenge. Telemedicine and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have emerged as viable solutions to overcome this barrier, enabling the remote prescription and monitoring of physical exercises, facilitating the inclusion of more patients in rehabilitation programs, and improving their quality of life. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent ICT-mediated intervention in terms of improving physical condition, reducing frailty, adherence, satisfaction, and quality of life in older adults with cardiopulmonary diseases.

Exclusion Criteria
41 participants enrolled in a tele-rehabilitation program with Exercise-based interventions conducted twice weekly for three months via videoconferencing on Microsoft Teams
Other: telerehabilitation
Exercise-based interventions were conducted twice weekly for three months via videoconferencing on Microsoft Teams. The program included various components: Aerobic and strength training, Flexibility, Balance and coordination
Short Physical Performance Battery
This battery includes tests for usual walking speed over 4 meters, five-chair stands, and balance. Each task receives a score (0-4) based on the time required to perform five sit-to-stand repetitions, standing balance, and walking speed over 4 meters. The total score (0-12) is calculated by summing individual scores, with higher scores indicating better lower-body function.
Time frame: Baseline and at 1 month postest
Six-minute walk test
Conducted on a straight, level, hard surface, ideally 30 meters long, with a minimum acceptable length of 20 meters. The track was marked every 3 meters, with cones at the ends and bright tape at the start. Variables recorded included meters (m), which represent the total distance covered by the individual during the six-minute period.
Time frame: Baseline and at 1 month postest
