EfS – Original RCT of the exercises used in the EfS training on function and quality of life

by Dawn on June 21, 2010

Published in 2007, the results of a randomised controlled trial comparing with relaxation on physical function and quality of life in people who had been discharged from rehabilitation.

The paper describes the background need for an effective group programme for those leaving the rehabilitation setting. The programme, delivered over 12 weeks, 3 times a week, by trained exercise instructors, significantly improved function and physical health quality of life compared to relaxation. The exercises delivered in this programme are the same as the exercises taught on the LLT EfS Course.
