A Study to Evaluate Individualized Prehabilitation for People Undergoing Neo-Adjuvant Radiotherapy and Lower Limb Soft-Tissue Sarcoma Surgery

Overview

About this study

The primary objectives of this study are to determine if a tailored prehabilitation program focusing on functional optimization of spared limb tissue in two groups of patients with localized, lower extremity soft tissue sarcoma, one with prehabilitation and one with equal attention and informational support, improves functional outcome as measure by the Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS), to identify the measures and metrics most responsive to the intervention using the (TESS), Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT)[5], wearable Heel2Toe sensor technology and daily step count, and to estimate recruitment, retention, adherence, and acceptability rates.
