Effects of a Digital Adapted Physical Activity Program on Physical Activity Levels and Sleep Quality in Patients With Spondyloarthritis: A Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether a tailored digital Adapted Physical Activity (APA) program can improve physical activity levels and sleep quality in adults diagnosed with spondyloarthritis (SpA).
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does participation in a 6-month digital APA program increase average daily step count (measured with an activity tracker)? Does the program improve sleep quality (measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index)? Researchers will compare participants receiving general physical activity advice (control group) to those following a structured digital APA program (intervention group) to see if the tailored digital support leads to better outcomes.
Participants will:
Complete baseline assessments including physical activity, sleep, pain, and quality of life measures.
Be randomly assigned to a control group or intervention group. For the intervention group, follow an individualized exercise program delivered through a virtual platform with support from an APA professional over 10 virtual sessions.
Wear a connected activity tracker (Withings) to monitor physical activity throughout the study.
Complete follow-up assessments at 6 and 12 months.
Inclusion: Adults aged 18 to 80; Followed in rheumatology for axial spondyloarthritis validating the ASAS or modified New York criteria at all stages of progression,; Physically inactive (less than 150 minutes of moderate-intensity leisure-time physical activity per week), assessed at inclusion using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ); With stable treatment for 3 months; Signed informed consent; Membership of a social security scheme; Have access to a digital tool with an internet connection (tablet or smartphone).
