Remote Assessment of Physical Function in Older Cancer Survivors
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Remote Assessment of Physical Function with Direct Observation and Remote Assessment of Physical Function for Cancer Survivors. Completed, enrolled 33 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
An android tablet with Wi-Fi and cellular will be used to compare videoconferencing with face-to-face assessment of 2 timed, physical performance tests. The physical performance tests include the 30-second chair stand test (30s-CST) and the Timed Up \& Go (TUG) test. The TUG test is measured as the time to stand from a standard arm chair, walk 10 feet, turn around, return to start and sit down. The 30s-CST is measured as the number of times a person comes to a full standing position from a chair in 30 seconds, as quickly as possible, without using ones' hands.
