Primary outcomePrimary: Validation - 30-second Chair Stand Test — 0.33 chair stands
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.
