A Home-Based Prehabilitation Exercise Intervention for Improving Physical Function in Patients Receiving Chemotherapy Before Radical Cystectomy, Get Moving Trial
Complete Title: Phase I/II Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial evaluating a Home-Based (P)Rehabilitation Intervention with ExerciseRx in Patients with Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (The Get Moving Trial) 
Trial Phase: N/A
Investigator: Sarah Psutka
Prehabilitation refers to the process of improving a patient`s functional capabilities prior to a surgical procedure with the goal of decreasing post-surgical inactivity and physical decline. This clinical trial evaluates the utility of a personalized home-based prehabilitation exercise intervention for the improvement of physical function and surgical outcomes in patients receiving chemotherapy before routine radical cystectomy for localized (non-metastatic) muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The exercise intervention includes at-home exercise sessions focused on the improvement of core strength and balance as well as personalized step count goals, delivered to patients remotely via a smart-device-based application (ExerciseRx). Encouraging physical activity before surgery may improve physical function and surgical outcomes in patients who are scheduled to undergo surgery for their non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
