• Are physical activity and benefits maintained after long-term telerehabilitation in COPD? 

      Hoaas, Hanne; Morseth, Bente; Holland, Anne E.; Zanaboni, Paolo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      This study investigated whether physical activity levels and other outcomes were maintained at 1-year from completion of a 2-year telerehabilitation intervention in COPD. During the post-intervention year, nine patients with COPD (FEV1 % of pred. 42.4±19.8%; age 58.1±6 years) were encouraged to exercise on a treadmill at home and monitor daily symptoms and training sessions on a webpage as during ...
    • Long-term integrated telerehabilitation of COPD Patients: A multicentre randomised controlled trial (iTrain) 

      Zanaboni, Paolo; Dinesen, Birthe; Hjalmarsen, Audhild; Hoaas, Hanne; Holland, Anne E.; Oliveira, Cristino Carneiro; Wootton, Richard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-22)
      <i>Background</i>: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an effective intervention for the management of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, available resources are often limited, and many patients bear with poor availability of programmes. Sustaining PR benefits and regular exercise over the long term is difficult without any exercise maintenance strategy. In contrast ...
    • Long-Term Telerehabilitation or Unsupervised Training at Home for Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial 

      Zanaboni, Paolo; Dinesen, Birthe; Hoaas, Hanne; Wootton, Richard; Burge, Angela T.; Philp, Rochelle; Oliveira, Cristino Carneiro; Bondarenko, Janet; Jensen, Torben Tranborg; Miller, Belinda; Holland, Anne E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-08)
      Rationale: Despite the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), many patients do not access or complete pulmonary rehabilitation, and long-term maintenance of exercise is difficult. Objectives: To compare long-term telerehabilitation or unsupervised treadmill training at home with standard care. Methods: In an international randomized controlled trial, ...
    • Perceived autonomy support in telerehabilitation by people with chronic respiratory disease: a mixed methods study 

      Cox, Narelle S.; Lee, Joanna Yt; McDonald, Christine F.; Mahal, Ajay; Alison, Jennifer A.; Wootton, Richard; Hill, Catherine J.; Zanaboni, Paolo; O'Halloran, Paul; Bondarenko, Janet; MacDonald, Heather; Barker, Kathryn; Crute, Hayley; Mellerick, Christie; Wageck, Bruna; Boursinos, Helen; Lahham, Aroub; Nichols, Amanda; Czupryn, Pawel; Corbett, Monique; Handley, Emma; Burge, Angela T; Holland, Anne E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-24)
      Background - Autonomy-supportive health environments can assist patients in achieving behavior change and can influence adherence positively. Telerehabilitation may increase access to rehabilitation services, but creating an autonomy-supportive environment may be challenging.<p> <p>Research Question - To what degree does telerehabilitation provide an autonomy-supportive environment? What is the ...
    • Seasonal variations in objectively assessed physical activity among people with COPD in two Nordic countries and Australia: a cross-sectional study 

      Hoaas, Hanne; Zanaboni, Paolo; Hjalmarsen, Audhild; Morseth, Bente; Dinesen, Birthe; Burge, Angela T.; Cox, Narelle S.; Holland, Anne E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-05)
      <i>Purpose</i>: Seasons and weather conditions might influence participation in physical activity and contribute to differences between countries. This study aimed at investigating whether there were differences in physical activity levels between Norwegian, Danish and Australian people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and establishing if any variations in physical activity were ...
    • Telerehabilitation for chronic respiratory disease 

      Cox, Narelle S.; Dal Corso, Simone; Hansen, Henrik; McDonald, Christine F.; Hill, Catherine J.; Zanaboni, Paolo; Alison, Jennifer A.; O’Halloran, Paul; MacDonald, Heather; Holland, Anne E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-29)
      <p><i>Background - </i>Pulmonary rehabilitation is a proven, effective intervention for people with chronic respiratory diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease (ILD) and bronchiectasis. However, relatively few people attend or complete a program, due to factors including a lack of programs, issues associated with travel and transport, and other ...
