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.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Residence in New Mexico
- Previous diagnosis of cancer, completed primary treatment (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy), and not currently being treated for a recurrence.
- Mild-to-moderate physical functional impairment (≥2 functions limited a lot or limited a little on the Short Form 36-item Physical Function Subscale)
- Able to speak, read, & understand English
- Participating in less than 120 minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity
- Living independently and capable of walking 3 blocks without stopping to rest.
- Availability of a family member or friend to be present (for safety) during remote assessment of performance tests (Phases III and IV only)
- No severe impairments or pre-existing medical limitations for engaging in daily light-intensity physical activity (e.g., severe orthopedic conditions, pending hip/knee replacement, chronic vertigo, dementia)
- No severe hearing or vision deficits that would inhibit communication with the research team via videoconferencing and tablet use.
- Willing to use a tablet computer and videoconferencing software to communicate with a study team member during the assessment.
- Enough space (14 feet by 3 feet) to safely conduct the physical function tests.
- Not at high risk for falls
