Physical performance is an important predictor of disability, quality of life, and premature mortality, and thus is considered an important target of interventions designed to prevent, delay, or attenuate the physical functional decline. Currently, low-cost, valid, and reliable methods to remotely assess physical performance tests that are self-administered by older adults in the home-setting do not exist, thus limiting the reach, scalability, and dissemination of interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This paper will describe the rationale and design for a study to evaluate the accuracy, reliability, safety, and acceptability of videoconferencing and self-administered tests of functional mobility and strength by older cancer survivors in their own homes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To enable remote assessment, participants receive a toolkit and instructions for setting up their test course and communicating with the investigator. Two standard gerontologic performance tests are being evaluated: the Timed Up and Go test and the 30-second chair stand test. Phase 1 of the study evaluates proof-of-concept that older cancer survivors (age \u226560 years) can follow the testing protocol and use a tablet PC to communicate with the study investigator. Phase 2 evaluates the criterion validity of videoconference compared to direct observation of the two physical performance tests. Phase 3 evaluates reliability by enrolling 5-10 participants who agree to repeat the remote assessment (without direct observation). Phase 4 enrolls 5-10 new study participants to complete the remote assessment test protocol. Feedback from participants in each phase is used to refine the test protocol and instructions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Enrollment began in December 2019. Ten participants completed the Phase 1 proof-of-concept. The study was paused in mid-March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Videoconferencing has the potential to expand the reach, scalability, and dissemination of interventions to older cancer survivors, and potentially other older adults, especially in rural areas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Trial Registration<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04339959; https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/ct2\/show\/NCT04339959<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID)<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>DERR1-10.2196\/20834<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/20834","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,6]],"date-time":"2020-08-06T22:14:40Z","timestamp":1596752080000},"page":"e20834","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Remote Assessment of Functional Mobility and Strength in Older Cancer Survivors: Protocol for a Validity and Reliability Study"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6698-678X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cindy K","family":"Blair","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2964-7468","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Harding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6893-3494","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carla","family":"Herman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8972-5539","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tawny","family":"Boyce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5241-932X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wendy","family":"Demark-Wahnefried","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6045-7801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sally","family":"Davis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2996-9355","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anita Y","family":"Kinney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3742-040X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vernon S","family":"Pankratz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","unstructured":"Cancer Treatment & Survivorship Facts & Figures20192020-08-20AtlantaAmerican Cancer Societyhttps:\/\/www.cancer.org\/"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/nyas.13299"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jnci\/djz136"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cncr.23941"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.2009.02515.x"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/gerona\/58.1.m82"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cncr.11085"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199503023320902"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"74","DOI":"10.1093\/gerona\/60.1.74","volume":"60","author":"Onder, G","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/gerona\/55.11.m691"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2010.1923"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"M85","DOI":"10.1093\/geronj\/49.2.M85","volume":"49","author":"Guralnik, JM","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Gerontol"},{"key":"ref13","first-page":"0736033564","author":"Rikli, R","year":"2001","journal-title":"Senior fitness test manual"},{"key":"ref14","author":"Rikli, R","year":"2013","journal-title":"Senior Fitness Test Manual -
