Interventions

In the *COME ON, move on!* program all children are coached individually for the period of one year to stimulate the recommence a normal age-related lifestyle and to participate in daily activities,

Eligibility

Age

2 Years to 11 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Children (aged 4-12 years) who have finished the cancer treatment phase in the UMC St Radboud.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Children in the palliative phase of treatment, children with brain tumors, children with an amputation of a limb, or children with a counter-indication for maximal effort, will be excluded.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary outcome variables are the degree of physical activity as measured with the actometer (the Techtrail) and the registered activities in the diary, converted to Metabolic Equivalents (MET*s) at T0,T1,T2 and T3. The difference in intra-individual changes will be compared between groups: a significant difference from 10% between T2 and T3 will be judged as clinically relevant. The influence of background variables (disease, age, SES etc.) will be analyzed.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The secondary outcome variables are the change in motor performance level (MABC), endurance level (BRUCE protocol), quality of life level (TAQOL child and parents), competence level (CBSK) and the extent of participation in sports (sport questionnaire). The difference in intra-individual changes will be compared between the two groups. A significant difference of 10% between T2 and T3 will be judged as clinically relevant. The influence of background variables (disease, age, SES etc.) will be analyzed. Moreover, the presence of age-related reference-norms in the MABC, the BRUCE, the TAPQOL and the CBSK allow comparison with the typical population. To test to which extend the oncologist refers these children without screening by the pediatric physical therapist, each child we see we will record if a referral had been given or not. The percentage referrals will be compared to the outcome measurements from the standardized and norm referenced measurement instruments at T0.	—
