Comparing ways to test sit-to-stand in chronic lung disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares three ways of doing a simple sit-to-stand test for people with chronic lung disease: at the clinic, at home with video supervision, or on your own at home. The goal is to see which option works best and is easiest for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a chronic lung disease like COPD, asthma, or interstitial lung disease.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can do at least 5 sit-to-stand movements in one minute without using your arms for help.
- You have a pulse oximeter at home to measure your heart rate and oxygen levels.
- You have a smartphone, tablet, or computer to connect with the study team remotely.
- You haven't had any surgery on your legs in the last 3 months, and you are stable enough to exercise (no recent flare-ups or balance problems).

This study tests whether a telehealth exercise program works as well as in-person sessions for people with chronic lung disease. You may join if you recently finished rehab for your lung condition and can walk with or without help.
This study compares how well a simple sit-to-stand test works when done in person versus through a video call. It helps doctors understand if a telehealth visit can accurately measure your leg strength and mobility.
This study compares doing a 30-second sit-stand test at home via video call versus in a clinic. The goal is to see if remote testing works as well as in-person for people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). This could help you avoid extra trips to the clinic.
This trial tests a specific exercise to help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve their ability to stand up from a chair. It may help you if you have some trouble but can still do the movement with minimal or no help.
This study tests a simple way to measure how well people with Parkinson's can stand up from lying down. It aims to see if the test is reliable and useful for tracking movement over time.
This trial compares how different body positions (sitting vs standing) affect blood and heart-related measurements in otherwise healthy adults. It may help researchers understand which position is better for metabolic and cardiovascular health.
