  • Pediatric oncology

    • Background:

    • Pediatric cancer survivors often experience long-term sequelae, including impaired muscular strength and function.
    • Accurate and reliable assessment tools are crucial for monitoring recovery and guiding rehabilitation in this population.
    • The 5 sit-to-stand (5-STS) test is a functional measure of lower-limb strength, but its reliability with advanced assessment tools needs further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the intra-set reliability of the 5-STS exercise using a functional electromechanical dynamometer (FEMD).
    • To determine and compare the load-velocity (L-V) profile in the 5-STS exercise among adult pediatric cancer survivors.
    • To investigate potential differences in L-V profiles based on sex, age, body mass index (BMI), and cancer type/treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Forty-seven adult pediatric cancer survivors participated in the study.
    • Participants performed the 5-STS test with loads of 5% and 20% of their body weight (BW).
    • Intrasession reliability was assessed, and L-V profiles were analyzed for differences across demographic and clinical variables.

    Main Results:

    • Very high to extremely high relative reliability (ICC = 0.80–0.95) was observed for both 5% and 20% BW 5-STS tests concerning force, power, and velocity.
    • Significant differences in L-V profiles were found only in relation to sex, specifically for the velocity-axis intercept and the area under the L-V curve (p < 0.05).

    Conclusions:

    • The 5-STS test, utilizing a FEMD with 5% and 20% BW loads, is a reliable method for assessing strength, power, and velocity in adult pediatric cancer survivors.
    • The L-V profile analysis revealed sex-related differences, highlighting the importance of considering sex in the interpretation of these measures.
    • Reliable strength assessments like the 5-STS test with FEMD offer a safer, less demanding alternative to maximal strength tests, facilitating tailored rehabilitation programs.
