Summary

There is increasing evidence of interventions shown to be effective to promote physical activity in adolescents with cancer. Nevertheless, adolescents with cancer become physically inactive after the end of the interventions. These interventions emphasized heavily on interventionists' role to assess adolescents' physical fitness and prescribe exercises. After the intervention, the adolescents were unable to follow the previous exercise prescriptions due to their changing medical conditions. To promote physical activity sustainably, it is vital to develop a patient-based assessment tool to allow adolescents with cancer to self-assess their own appropriate levels of physical activity that they could perform. However, a review of literature indicates a lack of such a tool.

Testing of the EFT

Our team will develop specific questions in EFT. Then, subject will be invited to fill in a set of questionnaires covering demographic characteristics, EFT items and a numerical rating scale for pain scores. The physiotherapists will rate the subject with the most appropriate level of physical activity.
