Observational Model: | Case-Only |
Time Perspective: | Prospective |
Official Title: | Activity Levels in Bone Marrow Transplant Patients |

- 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
- To determine the correlation between activity levels and length of stay in hospital [ Time Frame: From study intitiation for up to 5 years ]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.
- To determine the correlation between activity levels and quality of life [ Time Frame: From study intitiation for up to 5 years ]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
- To determine the correlation between activity levels and hand grip strength [ Time Frame: From study intitiation for up to 5 years ]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.
- 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 ]Barriers to physical activity will be determined using a validated questionnaire at three time points during hospitalization.
