A Pilot Study of a Strength and Balance Training Program for Persons With Oxaliplatin Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects on strength, balance, and neuropathic
symptoms (numbness, tingling, pain, weakness) of a 12 week, bi-weekly, 60 minute, group
exercise program designed to improve lower extremity strength and balance with persons with
oxaliplatin induced peripheral neuropathy.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Prior history of colon cancer

- Completed oxaliplatin based chemotherapy at least 6 months prior to enrollment

- Report numbness, tingling, or pain of the lower extremities ≥ 4 by chemotherapy
induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) Visual Analog Rating

- Karnofsky performance status of at least 60%

- Able to read, write, and understand English

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients will be excluded from the study if they live outside of a 30 mile radius of
the University of South Florida, if they are currently undergoing chemotherapy or
radiation therapy, or if they regularly (at least once a week) participate in
strength or balance training exercises. The investigators will not exclude
participants if they are participating in aerobic exercise, but we will collect that
information so that the investigators may control for aerobic exercise in our data
analysis.
