Outcome measures
Primary outcome
To investigate the feasibility of a tailored exercise and/or relaxation intervention for metastatic breast cancer survivors primarily in terms of uptake, safety, adherence, , and goal attainment. Secondary aspects are adherence, and patient and provider satisfaction.
Secondary outcome
To generate preliminary information on the impact of the tailored intervention in terms of maintenance or improvement of physical fitness, physical functioning, fatigue and quality of life. The specific outcomes of interest will vary from patient to patient as a function of her their specific goals.
Study objective
The objective of the study is to investigate the feasibility of a tailored physical therapy program for metastatic breast cancer patients.
Study design
At baseline, and after end of intervention (6-12 weeks later)
Intervention
After a comprehensive intake, a tailored physical therapy program will be provided that consists of elements specifically designed for this population that best target the patients goal(s) related to physical activity and staying fit in order to carry out normal activities of daily living. Dependent on the nature of this tailoring, the program content may differ from patient to patient and may range from specific resistance (e.g. leg press) and/or aerobic (e.g. cycling) exercises, functional exercises (e.g. stair climbing), or relaxation exercises (e.g. progressive muscle relaxation). The combination of exercises can be provided either in person or (partly) via an eHealth platform (Physitrack).
