Summary

The project will investigate the feasibility of a physiotherapy intervention for patients diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis for whom a physiotherapy intervention is not currently part of clinical practice in Denmark. Specifically, the project will investigate if an early-initiated physiotherapy intervention for patients who are admitted acutely with first-time deep vein thrombosis (DVT), can be carried out and is experienced as valuable for the patients.

Conditions

  • Deep Vein Thrombosis

Interventions

OTHER

Physical activity

The focus of the intervention is on exercises that can improve venous return, and consists of progressive walking training at moderate and high intensity as well as guidance on physical activity. The training program is inspired by the WHO's recommendations for physical activity. The training program consists of a 14-day introductory period based on an initial interview with a physiotherapist, where the aim is to hit 30 min. times/day at moderate intensity. After 14 days, the patient receives physiotherapeutic guidance in physical activity and is introduced to the next period of 14 days, where the activity level is maintained, and the goal is to further achieve 2 x 20 min./week of high-intensity physical activity. After one month of training, the patient will be guided on maintaining and possibly progressing physical activity.
