Intervention Type: Other, Procedure

Study Type: Interventional

Study Phase: Not Applicable

SUMMARY

This randomized pilot trial studies telemonitoring after surgery to preserve limb function in optimizing mobility in cancer survivors with cancer spread to the bone. The use of mobile devices for telemonitoring may improve the delivery of cost-effective, high-quality, standardized surveillance of cancer survivors.

Participants

Target number of participants: 70

Treatments

Active_comparator: Group I (standard follow up, physical activity measurement)

Patients undergo standard face-to-face follow up visits at 2, 6, 12, and 24 weeks after surgery. Patients also undergo a physical activity assessment over 15 minutes.

Experimental: Group II (mobile surveillance)

Patients undergo standard face-to-face follow up visits as in Group I. Patients also undergo mobile surveillance comprising use of a mobile device application to send photos and videos to study staff and engage in video conferences at 3, 7, 13, and 25 weeks after surgery.
