Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The primary aim of this monocentric randomised controlled study is to evaluate the impact of using GAS to maintain the functional abilities of children and adolescents undergoing TCSE. The secondary aims include evaluating parents' and adolescents' perceived changes in the subject's functional abilities from the moment of stem cell transplantation unit (SCTU) admission to subsequent follow-ups. Another secondary aim is to evaluate the achievement of functional goals as defined by GAS in the experimental group (EG). Other aims include investigating the feasibility of the exercise program and the rehabilitation counselling indications in both groups, as well as the effectiveness of the two interventions and GAS use in the EG.

- Exercise programme (EP) and rehabilitation counselling indication (RCI)
- description
- Exercise Program EP is carried out five days a week (two days independently with parental support and three days under supervision). Each 30-minute session is supervised by one therapist for all patients. The EP programme includes three types of exercise: muscle-strengthening exercises for the upper and lower extremities, preceded by a 10-minute warm-up; 15 minutes of aerobic exercise; and 5 minutes of stretching. Rehabilitation counselling indications RCI have to be followed daily. RCI consist of some practical advice on how to adopt an active lifestyle during recovery. Some examples are getting up to go to the bathroom or the window to talk to visitors, sitting on a chair for school lessons.

GAS During their hospitalisation, children and caregivers in the experimental group define a functional goal together each week with the help of the therapist. This is verified using Goal Attainment Scaling, which identifies specific and significant objectives for the patient and their family.
