Bénéfices des activités physiques adaptées au cours de l’allogreffe de cellules souches hématopoïétiques : étude de faisabilité

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of an Adapted Physical Activity (APA) program of dance in adults with blood cancer treated by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Materials and methods: A controlled study was set up comparing 2 groups: APA and control. The subjects were adults treated by HSCT. During the intervention (dance, 3 weeks, 3 sessions per week), the following criteria were selected to study feasibility: acceptability, adherence, satisfaction, heart target rate. The comparison was based on intergroup assessment of perceived fatigue, level of anxiety and depression. Results: An adherence rate of 90.6% was noted. Perceived fatigue decreased in the APA group, but this difference was not significant after controlling for scores at baseline. Conclusion: An APA program is feasible in patients treated by HSCT.
