Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this research study is to measure the effect of participating in extra arm exercise in addition to standard rehabilitation exercises in the Acute Rehabilitation Unit. This study will compare two different ways to perform the extra arm exercise. The first is following a customized program of hand and arm exercises that will be developed for study participants by an experienced rehabilitation therapist. The second is moving a participants arm back and forth when they are sitting in their wheelchair by using a moveable wheelchair arm rest (Boost).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years to 84 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. 1. 18 to 84 years of age
  2. 2. Experienced a single stroke or multiple strokes \>3 days and \< 4 weeks prior to study enrollment, and currently admitted or accepted into Acute Rehabilitation program for stroke.
  3. 3. UE Fugl-Meyer Motor Score \<42/66
  4. 4. Absence of moderate to severe shoulder pain while using the movable wheelchair arm rest device (\<6 on the 10-point visual analog pain scale)
  5. 5. Absence of severe tone at the affected UE (score \<4 on the Modified Ashworth Spasticity Scale)
  6. 6. Deem to be an appropriate candidate for manual wheelchair by ARU clinicians. A patient who has been able to transfer into a wheelchair while at ARU (with or without assistance) and has tolerated sitting in the wheelchair for at least 30 minutes.
  1. 1. Subarachnoid hemorrhage
  2. 2. Presence of other neurological or psychological disorders affecting motor functions
  3. 3. Moderate to severe pain in the stroke-affected upper extremity (score \> 6 on 10-point visual analog pain scale), while using the movable wheelchair arm rest device
  4. 4. Severe tone at the affected upper extremity (score \> 4 on the Modified Ashworth Spasticity scale)
  5. 5. Severe aphasia (score of 2 or higher on the NIH stroke scale - question 9). PI may dismiss this criterion if the participant is deemed able to follow all study instructions.
  6. 6. Deficits in vision, language, attention, neglect, or other cognitive functions severe enough to interfere with safe operation of wheelchair or the movable wheelchair arm rest device.
  7. 7. Currently pregnant
  8. 8. Difficulty in understanding or complying with instructions given by the experimenter.
  9. 9. Inability to perform the experimental task that will be studied.
  10. 10. Not part of another upper extremity motor-related interventional study
