Remote Assessment of Physical Function

Cancer Survivors Clinical Trial

Official title: Remote Assessment of Physical Function in Older Cancer Survivors

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective is to evaluate the validity and reliability of using videoconferencing to assess physical performance tests self-administered by older cancer survivors in their own homes. This remote assessment will be compared to the traditional face-to-face (i.e., in-person) assessment and to accelerometer data.

Clinical Trial Description

The ultimate goal of this research study is to develop a test protocol to allow older cancer survivors to self-administer physical performance tests in the survivor's own home, while an investigator remotely assesses the tests via videoconferencing. The test protocol includes written and video instructions and the test kit. To achieve this objective, the study will proceed with a series of phases. A similar concept of "saturation" will be applied, as is done in qualitative studies. In qualitative studies, the number of focus groups or interviews is based on the saturation point, i.e., the point at which no new information is learned. For the current study, each study phase will include a range in the number of participants enrolled. At the point at which no new information is being learned, i.e., no further adjustments are needed to the test protocol, the study will proceed to the next phase. ;
