| Abstract | |
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) procedure may cause functional losses that impair daily tasks that require physical skills. Our aim was to evaluate function of patients pre and post HSCT using an assessment in outpatient basis. From November 2008 to November 2010, 50 patients, 29 (58%) female, median age 48 years (24-67), were enrolled in the study. Collection was performed pre and post autologous or allogeneic HSCT. Instruments were 2 minutes walking test (2MWT), oxygen saturation (Sa02), heart rate (HR) and Borg Scale (BS) before and after 2MWT for gate performance evaluation; Grip Strength (GS) for strength evaluation, Schober Test (ST) for spine mobility testing and maximum and adapted activity score (MAS and AAS) of Human Activity Profile (HAP) questionnaire for function role evaluation. Fifty patients were evaluated pre HSCT; 6 did not undergo HSCT; 3 died, 1 refused, and two were excluded. Forty four out of 50 (88%) underwent HSCT, 21 allogeneic, 23 autologous. Thirty three out of 44 (75%) patients performed both evaluations, 11/44 (25%) patients did not: 9 died and 2 were excluded. Among groups who performed both evaluations, we found significant lower values in the post evaluation for 2MWT (p= 0.004), GS for right and left hand (p= 0.004 and <0.0001 respectively), ST, MAS and AAS (p< 0.0001); and higher HR (p= 0.01) before 2MWT and Sa02 (p=0.02) after 2MWT. We also found statistically differences between allogeneic and autologous groups of patients for hemoglobin (Hb), MAS (p= 0.002) and AAS (p= 0.008) variables on post HSCT. Those differences indicate decrease on aerobic conditioning before physical stress, decline of gate performance, hand strength, spine flexibility and on function role on daily activities post HSCT, showing physical losses in this population. Moreover, functional and physical prejudice was more severe in patients that underwent allogeneic procedure on post HSCT. In conclusion a better understanding of intensity and specificity of those physical losses may help to conduct a better rehabilitation program on post HSCT period (AU) | |
