Tele-Exercise for MERP
Condition: Burn Pit Exposure · Sponsor: VA Office of Research and Development
About this study
During Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, Veterans in combat were exposed to a variety of airborne hazards, including oil well fire smoke, emissions from burn pits, and other substances associated with negative health outcomes, including cardiovascular and pulmonary disease and cancer. More than 40% of Veterans enrolled in the VA's Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry (AHOBPR) report functional limitations, such as difficulty running short distances. Veterans with burn pit exposures will benefit from physical activity interventions designed to improve functional ability and overall quality of life. Veterans with significant exposure to burn pits during their overseas military service will have a detailed documentation of their limitations and participate in either a 12-week coach-led tele-exercise intervention or standard of care. This project is designed to improve functional mobility and could be implemented for Veterans with burn pit exposure.
