Physiotherapy in Pediatric Oncology
Sponsor: University of Seville
Summary
The objective of this clinical trial is to determine whether therapeutic physical exercise combined with electrotherapy and exercise gaming improves rehabilitation outcomes in pediatric and adolescent cancer patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the combination of therapeutic physical exercise plus muscle strengthening and therapeutic physical exercise plus gamification, compared to a single exercise intervention, improve patient condition? Does gamified exercise improve treatment adherence? Does electrotherapy improve muscle activity when used in muscle strengthening mode? Researchers will test the application of the described modalities and assess improvements in variables such as cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity self-efficacy, pain, balance, joint range of motion, physical activity level, cancer-related fatigue, quality of life, anxiety-depression, sleep, kinesophobia, and social status.

Conditions
Interventions
Therapeutic physical exercise
Specific therapeutic exercise intervention based on FITT parameters and working with aerobic, anaerobic, and breathing exercises.
Therapeutic physical exercise + electrotherapy
Specific therapeutic exercise intervention based on FITT parameters and working with aerobic, anaerobic, and breathing exercises. Combined with the application of electrical waves for neurostimulation of the quadriceps muscles.
Therapeutic physical exercise + gamified game
Specific therapeutic exercise intervention based on FITT parameters and focusing on aerobic, anaerobic, and breathing exercises. Combined with the application of gamified exercise to improve treatment adherence in these young populations.
