Adherence to a Personalized Home Exercise Program After Lower Limb Surgery for Bone Tumors in Patients Aged 12 to 90

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to understand how well patients with bone tumors adhere to a personalized home exercise program after undergoing surgery and chemotherapy treatment. It focuses on patients having resection and reconstruction of the lower limb for bone tumors such as osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and chondrosarcoma. The study also seeks to identify factors that might influence patients adherence to the exercise program during the first six months after surgery. Patients will follow a home exercise program designed to be done independently to support recovery after surgery and chemotherapy. The study will track adherence to this personalized rehabilitation program daily from the start until six months after surgery. Data will be collected from about 50 patients treated over two years, including information like age, sex, BMI, physical activity level, diagnosis, type of surgery, and chemotherapy treatment. Participants will be monitored through various assessments, including the Toronto Extremity Salvage Score TESS, Timed Up and Go TUG test, and patient satisfaction surveys at three and six months. These measures will help evaluate functional recovery and the patients experience with the program. The study will also record adherence every day during the six-month period to better understand how patients manage their rehabilitation at home.
