About
This pilot trial studies a structured exercise program intervention in improving physical activity in older patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing cancer therapy. Patients with hematologic malignancies are at an increased risk of functional dependence and injury. Structured exercise programs, such as the Otago exercise programme (OEP), may improve balance, strength, and prevent fall-related injury in older patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing cancer therapy.
Full description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the feasibility of implementing a structured exercise program by evaluating recruitment and retention, exercise program adherence, sustainability, adverse events, and implementation challenge.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To calculate preliminary effect sizes of the impact of an exercise program in patients with hematologic malignancy undergoing therapy, as measured by:
OUTLINE:
Patients attend 8 physical therapy visits twice monthly for 4 months or until transplant. Patients also undergo an individualized exercise program at home for 6 months. The program comprises 3 main components: walking over 30 minutes twice a week, strengthening and balance retraining exercise over 30 minutes three times a week.
After completion of study, patients are followed up at 6 months.
