Primary outcomes

  1. Change in anxiety

    Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks

    Measured using the General Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD 7) scale to assess severity of generalized anxiety disorder. Scoring is calculated by assigning scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 to the response categories, respectively, of "not at all," "several days," "more than half the days," and "nearly every day." Total score for the seven items ranges from 0 to 21 where 0 is no anxiety, 1-4 is minimal anxiety, 5-9 is mild anxiety, 10-14 is moderate anxiety, and 15-21 is severe anxiety.

  2. Change in depression

    Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks

    Measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9) scale to assess severity of depression. Scoring is calculated by assigning scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 to the response categories, respectively, of "not at all," "several days," "more than half the days," and "nearly every day." Total score for the seven items ranges from 0 to 27 where 0 is no depression, 1-4 is minimal depression, 5-9 is mild depression, 10-14 is moderate depression, and 15-19 is moderately severe depression and 20-27 severe depression.

  3. Change in Tampa Kinesophobia Scale

    Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks

    Measured using the Tampa Scale for Kinesophobia 17-item scale to assess fear of movement. Scoring is calculated by assigning scores of 1, 2, 3, and 4 to the response categories, respectively, of "strongly agree," "disagree," "agree," and "strongly agree." Total score for the seventeen items ranges from 17 to 68. A score of 17 is the lowest possible score, and indicates no kinesiophobia or negligible. A score of 68 is the highest possible score and indicates extreme fear of pain with movement.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in gait

    Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks

    Measured using the Dynamic Gait Index 8-item scale to assess the likelihood of falling. Scoring is calculated by assigning scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 to the response categories, respectively, of "severe impairment," "moderate impairment," "mild impairment," and "normal". Total score for the eight items ranges from 0 to 24 where 0 is the lowest level of function and 24 is the highest level of function.

  2. Change in Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1)

    Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks

    Measured by spirometry to determine the volume of air (in liters) exhaled in the first second during forced exhalation
