Summary
This study tested whether a mix of in-person and online physiotherapy sessions is practical for children aged 4–17 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Ten children and their parents tried the program, which used fun activities like jumping and balancing. The goal was to see if families would stick with it and find it acceptable, not to measure health benefits.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Physical therapy (hybrid in-person and virtual sessions using the HEAL-ME online platform)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a flexible, home-based physiotherapy option to help children with leukemia stay active during and after treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to all children. It does not measure whether the therapy improves health outcomes.
