Clinical Trial Summary

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.

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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	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.	From study intitiation for up to 5 years
Primary	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	From study intitiation for up to 5 years
Primary	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.	From study intitiation for up to 5 years
Secondary	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.	From study intitiation for up to 5 years
