Physical therapy interventions, other than general physical exercise interventions, in children and adolescents before, during and following treatment for cancer

Abstract

Physical therapy interventions, other than general physical exercise interventions, in children and adolescents before, during and following treatment for cancer.

The Italian consensus conference on the role of rehabilitation for children and adolescents with leukemia, central nervous system, and bone tumors, part 1: Review of the conference and presentation of consensus statements on rehabilitative evaluation of motor aspects

“…28 Prehabilitation aims to enhance a child's physical functioning and general health, and improve tolerance of cancer treatments, overall outcomes, and recovery. 29 Therefore, rehabilitation should be an integral part in the care of these patients from the point of diagnosis. 30 We believe that preventive rehabilitation programs should be developed with available resources that capitalize on the skills of the multidisciplinary team in the promotion of physical activity at all phases of the cancer trajectory.…”

“…Rehabilitation may be delivered before (prehabilitation), during, or following cancer treatment 28 . Prehabilitation aims to enhance a child's physical functioning and general health, and improve tolerance of cancer treatments, overall outcomes, and recovery 29 . Therefore, rehabilitation should be an integral part in the care of these patients from the point of diagnosis 30 .…”

“…In oncology rehabilitation, physiotherapists manage musculoskeletal and neuromuscular impairments. 29 In Italy, the physiotherapist generally deals with the motor aspects, including neurological and orthopedic rehabilitation (often mediated through play), 34 while the TNPEE supports the neuro-evolutive development in the integration of neuroand psychomotor skills. 35 The presence of these specialists within the multidisciplinary oncological team is supported by international papers on the subject.…”

Role of Sonification and Rhythmic Auditory Cueing for Enhancing Gait Associated Deficits Induced by Neurotoxic Cancer Therapies: A Perspective on Auditory Neuroprosthetics

“…A few rehabilitation strategies have been discussed in the published literature that can enhance gait and balance dysfunctions in patients with cancer. These strategies include physiotherapy, physical exercises, virtual reality and more (21, 50, 51) (see Table 2). Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, only one recent systematic review has analyzed the influence of exercise rehabilitation interventions for managing deficits in gait and postural stability in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (21).…”

Molecular vibration of dopamine neurotransmitter: a relation between its normal modes and harmonic notes

“…Although the lines were subsequently depend to the notes of the chromatic scales, the data of an entire infrared spectrum being mapped into several octaves. In 1992, McMillan and coworkers [18] applied a neural network for the musical conversion of IR spectrum which the sound was applied for playing the acoustic foundation. In whether scientific and musical objectives necessitate different approaches to Sonification, or whether the same mapping can sometimes be useful for both.…”
