GroupInterventionDescription
Exercise with Music InterventionExercise with MusicThe Exercise with Music intervention is a recorded exercise playlist, which is tailored to a patient's individual physical abilities and music choices.
Active Control GroupExerciseThe active control group will receive exercise brochure and will be advised to exercise at least twice daily.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Enrollment rateOne year

Number of subjects enrolled into the study divided by number of subjects approached X 100%

Acceptability of intervention as measured by a questionnaireDay five

A self-designed 8-item questionnaire is administered to assess subjects' feedback regarding the intervention. Five questions are likert-scale questions (strongly disagree, disagree, undecided, agree, strongly agree); three questions are yes or no questions. If the results of the questionnaire show that majority of patients answer "agree or strongly agree" and "yes", this would indicate that the intervention is acceptable. If the results of the questionnaire show that majority of the patients answer "strongly disagree or disagree" and "no", this would indicate that the intervention is not acceptable.

Number of participants that complete the intervention beyond the 5-day mandatory sessionsDay 11

Count of participants who complete additional exercise sessions beyond the prescribed exercise regimen (twice daily for five days). Each session includes five movements.

Number of participants that complete the intervention as prescribedDay 5

Count of participants who exercise twice daily for five days (upper and lower extremity exercise). Each session includes five movements. The number of movements and sessions of the intervention delivered within and beyond the 5-day mandatory regimen will be documented.

Number of participants with adverse eventsDay 5

Adverse events are any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the trial intervention.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Effect size of the Exercise with Music interventionOne year

Estimated effect size of the intervention on outcome measures to calculate sample size for a larger future study.

Changes grip strength at hospital dischargeDay 5, Day 11

Grip strength will be assessed using handgrip dynamometer.

Changes in Foot StrengthBaseline, Day 5

Foot strength will be assessed objectively using hand-held dynamometer.

Changes in Anxiety (NIH Toolbox)Baseline, day 5

Anxiety will also be assessed using the NIH Toolbox Emotion Battery (fear-affect survey), CAT format. Each item administered has a 5-point scale with options ranging from "never" to "always." The survey is scored using IRT methods. Higher scores are indicative of more feelings of anxiety.

Changes in Depression (NIH Toolbox) at hospital dischargeDay 5, Day 11

Depression will be assessed using the NIH Toolbox Emotion Battery (sadness survey), CAT format. Each item administered has a 5-point scale with options ranging from "never" to "always" (adults) or "almost always". higher scores are indicative of more depressive.

Changes in Anxiety (Visual Analog Scale)Baseline, Day 5

Anxiety will be measured by the visual analog scale (VAS) with scores from 0 to 100. "0" indicates "no anxiety"; "100" indicates "extremely anxious".

Changes in Anxiety (Visual Analog Scale) at hospital dischargeDay 5, Day 11

Anxiety will be measured by the visual analog scale (VAS) with scores from 0 to 100. "0" indicates "no anxiety"; "100" indicates "extremely anxious".

Changes in Anxiety (NIH Toolbox) at hospital dischargeDay 5, Day 11

Anxiety will also be assessed using the NIH Toolbox Emotion Battery (fear-affect survey), CAT format. Each item administered has a 5-point scale with options ranging from "never" to "always." The survey is scored using IRT methods. Higher scores are indicative of more feelings of anxiety.

Changes in activityBaseline, Day 5

Activity will be monitored using an Actiwatch (Philips Respironics) placed on subjects' wrists at enrollment. The Actiwatch is a small, lightweight, limb-worn activity monitoring device. It contains an accelerometer that is capable of sensing any motion with minimal acceleration of 0.01g to measure long-term gross motor activity and intensity of motion.

Changes grip strengthBaseline, Day 5

Grip strength will be assessed using handgrip dynamometer.

Changes in Depression (NIH Toolbox)Baseline, Day 5

Depression will be assessed using the NIH Toolbox Emotion Battery (sadness survey), CAT format. Each item administered has a 5-point scale with options ranging from "never" to "always" (adults) or "almost always". higher scores are indicative of more depressive.

Changes in Foot Strength at hospital dischargeDay 5, Day 11

Foot strength will be assessed objectively using hand-held dynamometer.

Changes in Motivation (Visual Analog Scale)Baseline, Day 5

Motivation will be measured by the visual analog scale (VAS) with scores from 0 to 100. "0" indicates "not motivated to do exercise at all"; "100" indicates "extremely motivated to do exercise".

Changes in Motivation (Visual Analog Scale) at hospital dischargeDay 5, Day 11

Motivation will be measured by the visual analog scale (VAS) with scores from 0 to 100. "0" indicates "not motivated to do exercise at all"; "100" indicates "extremely motivated to do exercise".
