Telehealth Exercise Intervention to Improve Physical Function and Frailty in Multiple Myeloma Survivors

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Determine the effects of an 8-week telehealth exercise intervention on physical function as assessed by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) test (Aim 1) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the effects of an 8-week telehealth exercise intervention as assessed using a 5-scale frailty index: body mass index (self-report), tiredness (questionnaire), level of physical activity (self-report), gait speed (sensors), and muscular strength (hand grip dynamometer) (Aim 2). II. Determine the sustainability of the intervention on physical function and frailty at week 17 (Aim 3). OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM A: Patients undergo home-based exercise program 3 times per week for 8 weeks. Patients complete questionnaires at baseline (before 1 week) and at weeks 9 and 17. ARM B: Patients complete questionnaires at baseline and at week 9 and 17. Patients continue maintaining current activities of daily living and do not participate in any exercise program. Patients may then participate in home-based exercise program 3 times per week for 8 weeks.
