A series of bed exercises to improve lymphocyte count in allogeneic bone marrow transplantation patients

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a series of bed exercises on lymphocyte and T-cell subsets in allogeneic bone marrow transplantation patients during hospitalization. Thirty-five patients were randomly assigned, with 18 assigned to an exercise group and 17 to a control group. The bed exercise intervention was applied by a nurse to the exercise group for 30 min every day for 6 weeks. Patients in the exercise group had a mean increase of 40.9 lymphocyte cells/microL and patients in the … Show more

“…14,38 Some of those studies also suggest that exercise can have a potential impact on prognosis-relevant factors such as hematological reconstitution 29 and immunological capacity. 30 Until now, however, no controlled study has demonstrated the significance of an exercise intervention on survival.…”

“…39,40 Nine studies (comprising 13 publications) were of high quality. 39,40,[52][53][54][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] Several exercise interventions for HSCT survivors took place during hospitalization 56,58,63 or started during hospitalization and continued after release, 40,57,[59][60][61][62]64 whereas others were performed only in the outpatient or homebased setting. 39,[52][53][54][55]65,66 Many interventions were aerobic and successfully increased functional capacity or at least offset the loss of functional capacity associated with HSCT.…”

“…We located 17 publications from 13 studies, 39,40,52-66 8 of which 39,40,53,54,56,[63][64][65] were RCTs. Only two included a large population sample (nX100).…”

“…However, these were almost exclusively the patients who had undergone an autologous transplantation and were already in the rehabilitation phase. [19][20][21][22][23] More recently, studies by Mello et al and Kim provide the first information on physical activities after patients received an allogeneic transplantation, 24,25 but no studies have emerged so far concerning the effects of exercise therapy on HSCT patients during the phase of conditioning and the immediate post-transplant period. However, regular physical activity may be very important during these phases to counteract the consequences of immobility.…”

“…Due to existing research, we assumed that physical exercise therapy would improve endurance, 12 strength 24 and some areas of the quality of life. 30 Regarding the secondary concerns, we assumed that a physical exercise intervention would have a positive effect on haematopoietic parameters 12,25 and lung function.…”
