Brief summary

A randomized controlled clinical trial that will test how physical exercise will impact outcomes of functional ability, cognitive function and quality of life in older patients with type 2 diabetes who have been diagnosed as Fraity syndrome. The intervention will be 6 months in duration with approximately 72 sessions of exercises. Outcome measures will be collected at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.

Detailed description

Fraity syndrome, prevalent among geriatric populations, is associated with higher susceptibility to falls, comorbidities, and mortality. Multidomain interventions have been shown to be effective in improving quality of life and delaying progression of functional impairment or disability in older adults. Specially, VIVIFRAIL was developed by world experts in the field of physical exercise and frailty, and is considered an important step towards the novel era of precise prescription of physical activity. Nevertheless, the effect of physical exercise as a systematic, structured and repetitive type of physical activity, in the reduction of risk of cognitive decline in the elderly, is not very clear.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALVivifrail Exercise Programme Training

Vivifrail exercise programme includes face-to-face education on Multi-component Physical training: A Program for patients with moderate limitation with EXERCISE WHEEL include 7 exercises for 1 course. During the first 8 weeks, the patient exercises 3 times/week with a level of exertion according to Borg's category-ratio 10 (CR10) scale of 4-5 points. For the next 8 weeks, the patient exercises 3 times/week with Borg's CR10 exertion level of 6-7 points. In the last 8 weeks, the patient exercises 3 times/week with Borg's CR10 exertion level of 8-9 points. The six-month intervention involves twenty-four weekly calls, with a focus on building rapport (e.g. providing feedback on the baseline assessment); education reinforcement on resistance training; and skill-building (e.g. self-monitoring and resistance training diary). The emphasis is on helping participants to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve targeted intensity. Every 4 weeks, all patients are re-visite

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Physical performance 1 - Handgrip strengthPrior to the start of intervention, 3 months and 6 months (completion of the intervention)Handgrip strength is assessed using a hand dynamometer named Jamar Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer: the higher number the better outcome.
Physical performance 2 - Gait speedPrior to the start of intervention, 3 months and 6 months (completion of the intervention)4-metre gait speed test (the shorter time the better outcome)
Physical performance 3 - Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)Prior to the start of intervention, 3 months and 6 months (completion of the intervention)The Short Physical Performance Battery developed by the National Institute on Aging: scores ranging from 0 (worst) to 12 (best)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Nutritional statusPrior to the start of intervention,3 months and 6 months (completion of the intervention)Nutritional status is assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF): scores ranging from 0 (worst) to 14 (best)
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)Prior to the start of intervention, 3 months and 6 months (completion of the intervention)Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living (scores range from 0-worst to 6-best)
The Mini-Cog ScorePrior to the start of intervention, 3 months and 6 months (completion of the intervention)The Mini-Cog Score uses a three-item recall for memory and intuitive clock-drawing test to screen a dementia (scores range from 0-worst to 5-best)
21-item Fall Risk Index questionnairePrior to the start of intervention,3 months and 6 months (completion of the intervention)The 21-item Fall Risk Index (FRI-21) has been used to detect elderly persons at risk for falls: scores ranging from 0 (best) to 21 (worst)
Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs)First visit, 3 months, 6 monthsLawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (scores range from 0-low function \& dependent to 8-high function \& independent for women, and 0-worst to 5-best for men)
