化学療法誘発性末梢神経障害の参加者の健康と機能を改善するための全身振動

Participants randomly assigned to the UC group will serve as controls and will be tested at the same time points as the WBV group. The UC group will be asked not to change their physical activity or dietary habits across the intervention period and we will track any changes using a questionnaire.

Participants assigned to the WBV group will participate in twice daily 10-minute WBV training sessions, 7 days a week. Each WBV session will consist of a series of timed stands on the vibration platform (Marodyne LiV). During a timed stand, participants will perform slow controlled weight shifting exercises and gentle squats. The vibration frequency will be set at 30Hz and the amplitude set at 50-200 microns, for a total body acceleration of 0.4g+/-20%.

The number of participants enrolled during the recruitment period.

Adherence = % of sessions attended and compliance = % of each session completed.

Compliance = % of each session completed.

An in-house survey will ask about adverse events (e.g., bone pain, nausea) that occur during the intervention. The number of discrete moderate and severe adverse events will be summed as a single variable.

Measured by the Physical Performance Battery (PPB) to determine a person's ability to perform daily tasks independently. The PPB consists of 3 timed tests: 5 repeated chair stands, standing balance, and gait speed over 4 meters. Each test is scored 0 (unable) to 4 (completes without difficulty), based on quartiles of performance, then scores are summed. The possible range of scores is 0-12.

Functional mobility will be measured by the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test which measures the time that it takes a person to rise from a chair, walk 7 m, turn around and return and sit in the chair.

Functional balance will be measured by postural sway which evaluates how well a person can maintain their equilibrium during quiet standing. Will conduct a standard 30-second postural sway test to measure the sway velocity (m/s) during quiet standing with feet together and eyes closed using lightweight, inertial wireless sensors worn on the trunk.

Functional balance will be measured by postural sway which evaluates how well a person can maintain their equilibrium during quiet standing. Will conduct a standard 30-second postural sway test to measure the sway area (m2/s3) of sway during quiet standing with feet together and eyes closed using lightweight, inertial wireless sensors worn on the trunk.

Functional balance will be measured by postural sway which evaluates how well a person can maintain their equilibrium during quiet standing. Will conduct a standard 30-second postural sway test to measure the amount (m/s2) of sway during quiet standing with feet together and eyes closed using lightweight, inertial wireless sensors worn on the trunk.

Chronic changes in symptoms will be assessed at 0 and 12 weeks using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Gynecologic Oncology Group Neurotoxicity (FACT/GOG-Ntx). The questionnaire consists of the 27 item FACT-G, plus 11 items that specifically measure chemotherapy-induced neuropathy symptoms and concerns. Higher scores indicate worse symptoms.

Fatigue overall will be measured both before and after each whole body vibration session using a visual analog scale to identify any acute symptom relief from training. The scale ranges from 0 (no fatigue) to 10 (worst fatigue).

Chronic changes in fatigue will be assessed using the PROMIS Fatigue Scale. This instrument includes 8 items rated on a 5 point scale from "not at all" to "very much". Higher scores indicate worse fatigue.

Pain in the feet will be assessed both before and after each session using a visual analog scale to identify any acute symptom relief from training. The scale ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain).

Chronic changes in pain will be assessed using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). The instrument has 2 subscales: pain severity and pain interference. Severity is determined by the average of 4 items rated from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Pain interference is determined by the average of 7 items rated from 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes).

Body mass index will be calculated as kg/m2.

Exercise readiness will be assessed using the stage of change for exercise questionnaire. This is a categorical instrument with 5 options that indicate a person's readiness to engage in regular physical activity. Options that suggest engagement in more regular exercise are better.

Perceived physical function will be measured by self-report using the Late-Life Function and Disability Instrument (LLFDI).

The number of meters that participants can walk in 6-minutes will be recorded.
