Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in Physical Function
The Short Physical Performance Battery will be used to assess physical function. Scores range from 0 to 12, with higher scores indicating better physical performance and functional mobility.
Change in Physical Function
The World Health Organization Disability Schedule 2.0 will be used to assess any change in health and disability. A 12-item version will be used with each item rated on a 5-point Likert scale Higher scores indicate greater disability ie. minimum: 12 (no disability) and maximum: 60 (complete/extreme disability)
Secondary outcomes
Change in Aerobic Fitness
2 minute step test. Number of repetitions completed in 2 minutes will be recorded. A higher score indicates better aerobic endurance and cardiovascular fitness.
Change in Muscle Strength
Grip Strength in kg's where higher values indicate greater overall muscle strength
Change in Physical Activity Levels
Godin Questionnaire. A a Leisure-Time Exercise Score (LTEQ) will be recorded for each participant. Higher scores indicate greater levels of physical activity.
Change in Quality of Life
Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Bone Marrow Transplant. This is a valid and reliable patient reported outcome measure of five dimensions of quality of life in bone marrow transplant patients. A higher FACT-BM scores indicate better health-related quality of life
Other outcomes
Qualitative Feedback
Interviews with patients exploring the impact of cancer treatment, including HSCT, on physical function.
