“…We present ample evidence that poor functional status, defined by functional capacity, nutritional status, etc., is associated with worse perioperative outcomes. In fact, unfit adults are to benefit the most from physical activity and are more likely to show significant increases in functional capacity [111]. Moreover, the existing evidence provides reasonable guidance to test and measure therapeutic effectiveness but is yet to confirm which protocol yields better results.…”

Cancer surgery places a significant burden on a patients’ functional status and quality of life. In addition, cancer surgery is fraught with postoperative complications, themselves influenced by a patient’s functional status. Prehabilitation is a unimodal or multimodal strategy that aims to increase a patient’s functional capacity to reduce postoperative complications and improve postoperative recovery and quality of life. In most cases, it involves exercise, nutrition, and anxiety-reducing interventions. The impact of prehabilitation has been explored in several types of cancer surgery, most commonly colorectal and thoracic. Overall, the existing evidence suggests prehabilitation improves physiological outcomes (e.g., lean body mass, maximal oxygen consumption) as well as clinical outcomes (e.g., postoperative complications, quality of life). Notably, the benefit of prehabilitation is additional to that of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs. While safe, prehabilitation programs require multidisciplinary coordination preoperatively. Despite the existence of numerous systematic reviews and meta-analyses, the certainty of evidence demonstrating the efficacy and safety of prehabilitation is low to moderate, principally due to significant methodological heterogeneity and small sample sizes. There is a need for more large-scale multicenter randomized controlled trials to draw strong clinical recommendations.

Background: E-health interventions can promote physical activity among adults in the short term, but there is still a lack of evidence on long-term effects.We conducted a randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness as well as the sustainability of the intervention. Our primary aim of this exercise intervention was to improve overall health-related quality of life （HRQoL）, and our secondary aims were to improve nerve conduction indices and glycemia. Material & methods: The study design was a parallel randomized controlled trial. The participants were randomly paired and assigned to control and intervention groups (each consisting of 50 members). Patients assigned to the intervention group received online instruction in Tai Chi exercises three times a week for three months under the guidance of a physical therapist. The intervention group was asked to use the Tencent conference application, which provided online video instruction on Tai Chi exercises. Participants in the control group received a written Tai Chi exercise program and recommendations on a sheet of paper. The primary outcome was a Change in HRQoL in the intervention group over 6 months as measured by the PCS index score. Secondary outcomes included changes in SF-36v2, NRS, PSQI, motor nerve conduction index, blood glucose, and biochemical indices. Results: When comparing the primary outcomes at 6 months, we found that there was a significant difference in PCS scores (mean difference 4.33 [95% CI 2.03,5.87]; p = 0.01). Conclusion: Web-based exercise therapy for patients may help improve exercise therapy's effectiveness in treating DPN. In this exploratory study, the exercise group consistently trended better than the conventional group for most endpoints.
