Physical Activity Behavior Change for Older Adults After Dysvascular Amputation

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Amputation, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Peripheral Artery Disease

In brief

This pilot study will use mobile-health technology to deliver an intervention designed for lasting physical activity behavior change. The study will assess the feasibility of using the Physical Activity Behavior Change(PABC) intervention for Veterans with lower limb amputation. This intervention will be delivered using wrist-worn wearable activity sensors and a home-based tablet computer to allow real-time physical activity feedback and video interface between the participants and the therapist.
