About

This is a non-randomized, non-controlled feasibility study which will take place at the Besançon University Hospital in the conventional hospitalization department.

It will be carried out with patients hospitalized in the conventional hospitalization department of the medical oncology department of Besançon University Hospital.

At entry, after presenting the study and obtaining non-opposition from patients, an initial assessment will be carried out before the APA program. This assessment will include an evaluation of physical parameters (measurements of body composition, functional capacities, autonomy in activities of daily living and muscular strength), as well as an evaluation of quality of life relating to health and motivation to practice physical activity.

At the end of the initial assessment, an APA program supervised (individually and in a room) by an APA teacher will be offered to patients. The sessions will be offered daily to patients (maximum 5 times/week). They will last on average 20 minutes each depending on the fatigue, pain and fitness of the patients. The objectives pursued are mainly an improvement in functional independence and mobility.

Description:

An intervention (APA program) will be offered to patients hospitalized in the conventional hospitalization department of the medical oncology department. At entry, after presenting the study and obtaining non-opposition from patients, an initial assessment will be carried out before the APA program.
