Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this study is to conduct a quantitative evaluation of gait during the 6-minute walk test in patients with interstitial lung disease using acceleration data, and to clarify the relationship between changes in breathing patterns and physiological data during the test, as well as the corresponding gait strategies.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the correlation between composite acceleration (integrated from the XYZ axes) and respiratory rate, as well as oxygen saturation (SpO2). Specifically, the study aims to clarify how composite acceleration, which captures the overall magnitude and stability of movement during the 6-minute walk test, relates to respiratory function during exercise.

Key secondary outcomes

The secondary endpoints will involve comparisons with other respiratory diseases, such as COPD. This will allow for the analysis of differences between disease groups in terms of walking ability and respiratory function (average respiratory rate, IE ratio). Specifically, by comparing changes in gait patterns and respiratory parameters associated with each condition, the study aims to quantitatively evaluate disease-specific exercise limitations and respiratory dysfunction. The following items will be assessed:

Walking ability
1. Changes in gyroscope data (XYZ axes) during walking
2. Magnetic field changesector Magnitude Unit (VMU)
3. Step count
4. Average stride length
5. Cadence

Respiratory function during walking
1. IE ratio (Inhalation/Exhalation ratio)
2. Heart rate
3. Number of inhalations and exhalations

Other related information

A prospective observational comparative study. This study will target COPD and ILD patients who meet the selection criteria from among the respiratory disease patients hospitalized or attending outpatient clinics at Gunma University Hospital. The study period will be from the time of approval by the ethics review committee until March 31, 2029. The measurement items will include step count, stride length, cadence (walking rhythm), and respiratory physiological data (respiratory rate, SpO2, heart rate, and IE ratio) during the 6-minute walk test. Additionally, the study will assess the variability in respiratory rate and walking patterns on a minute-by-minute basis, changes in thoracic angular velocity, and thoracic mobility and respiratory function using the ResMo device. The aim is to analyze the differences in respiratory function and gait patterns between COPD and ILD patients, and to clarify the characteristics of exercise function and respiratory function specific to each disease.
