About this trial
Participants in this study will be receiving a bone marrow transplant. This study is designed to evaluate correlations between activity levels and length of stay, quality of life, and hand grip strength.

Patients who will be receiving a bone marrow transplant
Trial design
Design model
Case-only
Time perspective
Prospective
Treatments tested in this trial
Actigraph
DeviceActigraphs are non-invasive, wearable devices that measure activity levels using an accelerometer
Grip strength test
Other interventionThe purpose of this test is to measure the maximum isometric strength of the hand and forearm muscles

No treatment groups listed
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
To determine the correlation between activity levels and length of stay in hospital
Participants will be given actigraphs to wear around their waists starting 3 weeks prior to bone marrow transplants until they are discharged from the hospital. Activity prior to and during hospitalization will be correlated with length of stay.
Time frame
From study intitiation for up to 5 years2
To determine the correlation between activity levels and quality of life
Participants will be given actigraphs to wear around their waists starting 3 weeks prior to bone marrow transplants until they are discharged from the hospital. They will be provided with quality of life questionnaires at three time points during hospitalization. Activity prior to and during hospitalization will be correlated with quality of life
Time frame
From study intitiation for up to 5 years3
To determine the correlation between activity levels and hand grip strength
Participants will be given actigraphs to wear around their waists starting 3 weeks prior to bone marrow transplants until they are discharged from the hospital. Hand grip strength will be measured at three time points during hospitalization. Activity prior to and during hospitalization will be correlated with hand grip strength.
Time frame
From study intitiation for up to 5 yearsSecondary outcomes
1
To determine barriers to activity for patients recovering from bone marrow transplantation and design an intervention to increase activity levels in patients post-transplantation
Barriers to physical activity will be determined using a validated questionnaire at three time points during hospitalization.
