Interventions

Group 1: Patient group includes pediatric cancer patients (4-20 years) after cessation of inpatient medical treatment (maximum 3 years) that take part in the following measurement: isometric strength

Eligibility

Sex/Gender

All

Age

4 Years to 20 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: patient group: • Age: = 4 und = 20 years • pediatric cancer disease • completion off all inpatient medical treatment • cessation of inpatient medical treatment within the last 3 years • medical clearance (approval of the treating physician) • written informed consent from the legal guardian Comparison group: • matched pair (age and gender) to one of the patients in the patient group (age ± 1 year) • written informed consent from the legal guardian

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patient group: • specific stress conditions (according to the physician’s advice) • specific physiological impairments that would make participation in functional motor testing not possible (according to the physician’s advice) • specific psychological impairments that would make participation in functional motor testing not possible (according to the physician’s advice) Comparison group: • known oncological or chronic disease • specific stress conditions (according to the physician’s advice) • specific physiological impairments that would make participation in functional motor testing not possible (according to the physician’s advice) • specific psychological impairments that would make participation in functional motor testing not possible (according to the physician’s advice)

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Isomentric trength of ankle dorsiflexion is measured once (dynamometer).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (goniometer), isometric strength of knee extension (dynamometer), and functional strength of lower extremity (standing long jump) are measured once. In addition, functional mobility (timed-up-and-go-test), gait performance (10meter-walking test, 2minutes-walking test), walk-to-run-transition-time (treadmill test) as well as physical activity behavior (physical activity questionnaire) are measured once.	—
