Brief summary
This study aimed to investigate the impact of Physical therapy in adult patients receiving intensive induction chemotherapy for the treatment of acute leukemia during prolonged hospitalization. The study cohort included 150 patients. Primary objective is to compare the effect of a standardized rehabilitation program on physical deconditioning. This study has several secondary objectives of comparing and analyzing the status of sarcopenia, muscle strength, physical performance and the psychic dimension of this intervention. The 6 minutes walking test, Handgrip strength, impedance measurement, computed tomography, Short Physical Performance were used as measures of physical function. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer-Quality of Life-Questionnaire-30 (EORTC-QLQ-30) were used as measures of depression and anxiety and quality of life of cancer patients. To investigate the impact of physical therapy, patients were assigned to the physical therapy group (experimental group) or the control group.These results will thus make it possible to promote access to physiotherapy and rehabilitation care, from diagnosis and during hospitalization, and to standardize practices.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity between V1 and V0 | The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity between V1 and V0 | The six-minute walk test (6MWT) measures the distance an individual is able to walk over a total of six minutes on a hard, flat surface. The goal is for the individual to walk as far as possible in six minutes. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The muscle mass assessed with Bioelectrical impedance analysis | The worsening rate of sarcopenia defined either by the occurrence of a status of sarcopenia regardless of the stage or by moving from one sarcopenia stage's to another, 4 to 6 week after hospitalization | Evolution of muscle mass by Bioelectrical impedance analysis |
| Anxiety and Depressive Disorders assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale | Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and European Organization for the Research | Assessment of anxiety and depressive disorders |
| The physical performance assessed with Evolution of Short Physical Performance Battery | The worsening rate of sarcopenia defined either by the occurrence of a status of sarcopenia regardless of the stage or by moving from one sarcopenia stage's to another, 4 to 6 week after hospitalization | Evolution of Short Physical Performance Battery measurements, |
| muscle strength assessed with dynamometer and standing up test chair | The worsening rate of sarcopenia defined either by the occurrence of a status of sarcopenia regardless of the stage or by moving from one sarcopenia stage's to another, 4 to 6 week after hospitalization | Evolution of muscle strength by measuring grip strength by dynamometer, evolution of the muscle strength of the lower limbs by standing up test chair |
| Rate of patients with at least one complication | The rate of patients with at least one complication is used as the outcome by wich to compare of effect of a standardized exercise therapy program versus practice current after 4-6 weeks hospitalization | The comparison of the effect of a standardized exercise therapy program versus practice current hospitalization for the induction phase of chemotherapy: Complications of all types (pressure sore, infection, stay in intensive care). |
| Evolution of activities of daily living assessed with Treatment of Cancer-Quality of Life Questionnaire-30 | The comparison visit 0 versus Visit 1 bis 10 to 15 days after discharge from hospital for induction | Treatment of Cancer-Quality of Life Questionnaire-30 were used as measures of quality of life of cancer patients |
