Clinical trial on the physical and psychological effects of Horse Assisted Rehabilitation after the treatment of cancer in children 4 to 18 years of age.

Randomized controlled open labelled trial. Duration: 6 months. Groups: Control Group (standard follow-up) and Intervention Group (one weekly rehabilitation session assisted by horse). Participants: 30 children, 4 to 18 years of age, after 6 months of the discharge of the cancer treatment with nervous system involvement.

Controlled parallel clinical trial, randomised, not-masked, with Control Group and Intervention Group.

Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory - Child-Self Report (PedsQL-C) (PedsQL is a model for measuring quality of life in children with acute or chronic pathology; The PedsQL questionnaire is composed of 23 items comprising 4 dimensions; items are reversed scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale; in order to get a total score we must sum all the items scores over the number of items answered on all the Scales; total score 0-100, higher=better).

Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory - Parent-Proxy Report (PedsQL-PC) (PedsQL is a model for measuring quality of life in children with acute or chronic pathology; The PedsQL questionnaire is composed of 23 items comprising 4 dimensions; items are reversed scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale; in order to get a total score we must sum all the items scores over the number of items answered on all the Scales; total score 0-100, higher=better).

Barcelona General Health Status Questionnaire 2000 (sections: C, D, E, F, K, L, M; qualitative questionnaire, no total score).

State Trait Ansiety IInventory for children (STAI-CH) - norm-referenced scores (T scores and percentile ranks) for each one of the two subscales: Anxiety-Trait \& Anxiety-State (scores 0-60 in each subscale, higher = worse).

Childhood Depression Inventory (CDI), self report long version (28 items) to assess the presence and severity of depressive symptoms in children. Scores range from 0-56, with higher scores indicating higher levels of depression.

Behavior Assessment System for Children - Parent Rating Scale (BASC-PRS), second version (BASC-2) - BASC-2 is parent-reported, well-established scale for externalizing/internalizing problem of children and adolescents. Scoring manual and software is provided by the assessment developers; norm-referenced scores (T scores and percentile ranks) are available in the score reports, as are interpretations of strengths and weaknesses and target behaviors for intervention (mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10; for the behavior problem scales, scores above 60 are considered problematic; for the adaptive scales, scores below 40 are considered problematic).

PedsQL-C (subscale Health and Activities: to create Scale Scores, the mean is computed as the sum of the items over the number of items answered; next, sum the item scores and divide by the number of items in the scale minus Nmiss)

PedsQL-PC (subscale Physical Functioning: to create Scale Scores, the mean is computed as the sum of the items over the number of items answered; next, sum the item scores and divide by the number of items in the scale minus Nmiss)

PedsQL-C (subscale Feelings: to create Scale Scores, the mean is computed as the sum of the items over the number of items answered; next, sum the item scores and divide by the number of items in the scale minus Nmiss)

PedsQL-PC (subscale Emotional Functioning: to create Scale Scores, the mean is computed as the sum of the items over the number of items answered; next, sum the item scores and divide by the number of items in the scale minus Nmiss)

PedsQL-C (subscale Get Along with Others: to create Scale Scores, the mean is computed as the sum of the items over the number of items answered; next, sum the item scores and divide by the number of items in the scale minus Nmiss)

Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS: 14-item, criterion-referenced measure, which examines functional balance in the context of everyday tasks; Scoring (0-4) is based on how long a specific movement or position is performed, how long the position can be maintained, or how much assistance it requires. The highest score in PBS is 56, higher is better).

Sitting Assessment Scale (Sitting Assessment Scale (SAS) is a standardized observational instrument designed for assessment of sitting in children with cerebral palsy (CP); the scale is composed of five items evaluating head, trunk and foot control and arm and hand function, where each item is assessed with a score from 1 to 4 (1 =none; 2=poor; 3=fair; 4=good) and each score (1,2,3,4) has specific decriptors of each item of the SAS).

Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire 2007 (DCDQ'07: the DCDQ is a brief questionnaire designed to screen for coordination disorders in children, aged 5 to 15 years, and consists of 15 items grouped into three distinct factors (motor control during movement, fine motor and handwriting and general coordination; to reach scores, sum each column to compute the numbers onto the Score Sheet, and add all factor scores to compute a Total Score: 0-75, higher is better).

Heart Rate Variability (HRV, low/high frequency (LH/FH) power ratio; modulation of heart rate variability assessed through analysis of data collected by HRV wireless monitorisation and PolarH7(R) thoracic band (medical device), following the American and European Cardiological Societies).

PROMIS-10 questionnaire

The purpose of this retrospective chart review pilot study is to research the results and scores of the QOL questionnaire implemented across Allina Health clinics. This study will investigate average QOL scores by clinical population and demographic group, the change in scores over time, and the effect of clinical interventions on QOL scores. The results will provide insight into QOL trends within different patient populations and provide guidance regarding optimal treatment plans so that Allina caregivers can positively impact patients' QOL.

Quality measures, including quality of life (QOL), have become an increasingly important area of interest for health systems across the country. Systematic approaches to collect patient QOL data are needed to properly understand and act on this information. At Allina Health, the process of systematically collecting this information began in July, 2012. The information is not only collected by providers, but used to enhance the patient experience and provide patients with an active voice in their care. By considering QOL as another vital sign, Allina caregivers have an instantaneous understanding of the patient's health status and can utilize the data in real time. Additionally, by collecting this information at each visit, providers also have a longitudinal perspective of the patient's QOL and the health of the population of individuals under their care. Consequently, they can provide patients with resources and support that can have a positive impact on their health and well-being.
