Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| TNAS | 2 years | TNAS -Treatment-Induced Neuropathy Assessment Scale. 0-90. higher score = worse status |
| VAS | 2 years | 0-100 mm visual scale: self-reporting pain assessment from no pain to worst pain possible. We will ask for current pain and the worst pain during the last week. |
| FABS | 2 years | Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale: high function balance test - consisting of 10 activities in both static and dynamic phases; 10-40, higher scores are better. |
| TUG | 2 years | Timed Up and Go: fall prediction screening test; measures time taken to raise from a chair walking 3 meters and re-sit. |
| NSA | 2 years | Nottingham Sensory Assessment: sensory detection and discrimination test |
| Semmes-Weinstein monofilament testing | 2 years | tactile detection threshold |
| LEPT | 2 years | Lower Extremity Position Test: proprioception detection and quantification |
| Allodynia | 2 years | tested by non-painful mechanical stimulation: gentle brushing and monofilament |
