How movement and activity affect bone marrow transplant recovery

This study is looking at whether patients who are more active before and during their bone marrow transplant have better outcomes. You would wear a small activity monitor around your waist starting 3 weeks before your transplant through the end of your hospital stay, and complete some simple tests and questionnaires about how you're feeling.

Doctors want to understand if staying active during bone marrow transplant affects how long you need to stay in the hospital, your quality of life, and your physical strength. This information could help guide future care for transplant patients.
