Overview
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.
Detailed description
Participants in this study will be receiving a bone marrow transplant. 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. Participants will be asked to complete quality of life questionnaires and hand grip tests at three separate time points during their hospitalizations. All data gathered from these activities will be compared with patients' activity levels gathered from the actigraphs both before and during the hospitalization. This study is designed to determine the relationship between activity levels and length of stay, quality of life, and hand grip strength.
Interventions
- Device Actigraph
Actigraphs are non-invasive, wearable devices that measure activity levels using an accelerometer - Other Grip strength test
The purpose of this test is to measure the maximum isometric strength of the hand and forearm muscles
Primary outcome measures
- To determine the correlation between activity levels and length of stay in hospital [Time frame: From study intitiation for up to 5 years]
- To determine the correlation between activity levels and quality of life [Time frame: From study intitiation for up to 5 years]
- To determine the correlation between activity levels and hand grip strength [Time frame: From study intitiation for up to 5 years]
Secondary outcome measures (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 [Time frame: From study intitiation for up to 5 years]
