Details and patient eligibility

About

Reduced activity levels and reduced muscular strength could severely impair the activities of daily living (ADLs) in pediatric leukemia and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients. Increased muscle strength is associated with improved accomplishment of ADLs and consequently greatest possible normality, autonomy and mobility. This associated investigation to the study with the ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT03934060 aims at collecting data in a comparison cohort with respect to ADLs in children and adolescents who did not receive a standardized strenght training intervention during the whole course of treatment.
