Summary

In recent years, the survival of patients has increased with the success of leukemia treatment in children. However, according to the treatment modalities applied, complications such as changes in body composition such as obesity, osteoporosis and impaired bone health such as increased fragility are more frequent after treatment in patients.In this study, virtual reality exercise practices in remission of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cases will prevent negative effects on bone health and body composition and increase the quality of life of patients.

Detailed description

Treatment and intervention options are being tried to avoid such complications that affect the quality of life of patients and there is still no standard treatment to convert bone health to healthy bone structure before the disease. There is a positive effect of improving the bone health of the activity and exercise programs. In this study, it was planned to demonstrate the positive effects of these changes on bone health through changes of adipokines and myokins released from fat and muscle tissue by virtual reality exercise method. Thus, the quality of life can be increased and cancer complications can be reduced in cancer cases.
