A Study to Evaluate Exercise for Cancer Patients at Risk of Falling
Research Opportunity: “Prescribing” Exercise to Cancer Patients at High-Risk for Falls
Mayo Clinic is seeking volunteers with a diagnosis of cancer, ages 18 and older, to participate in an exercise research study.
Patients with any cancer diagnosis that has spread to another part of their body are eligible. The purpose of this study is to learn how to prescribe exercise with the long-term goal of making patients stronger and preventing falls.
Exercise in the form of walking will be completed in the home environment. Participation will last for 4-6 weeks. You will be asked to wear activity monitors, give blood samples, discuss the study by phone on a weekly basis and fill out surveys. You cannot have any issues that would preclude exercise.
You will be compensated for your time spent in the study.
