Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Feasibility will be assessed by the adherence to home-based maintenance exercise training sessions (i.e. the number of completed training sessions uploaded in the web-portal and training variables of these sessions (duration, intensity)). - Safety will be assessed by the number of (S)AEs. - Efficacy will be assessed by the change in exercise capacity on constant work rate cycle test (endurance time, Borg scores for dyspnea and fatigue). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - To explore changes in functional exercise capacity assessed on 6 minute walk test. - To explore changes on patient-reported outcomes using COPD Assessment Test and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. - To explore patient satisfaction using a structured interview and the Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST). | — |
