Description
Summary:The coincidence of an inflammatory rheumatic and a malignant disease causes a physical, cognitive and psychological reduction in performance. The prescription of physical therapy is therefore essential to address safety issues associated with both diseases, as well as side effects associated with antirheumatic and antineoplastic therapy that can impact the treatment. It is important to perform a risk assessment prior to physical therapy to identify potential safety issues and to determine baseline physical and functional status. In this review article descriptive information and the current literature on the safety of physical therapy interventions for people with rheumatic and malignant disease are highlighted, taking the disease process, treatment side effects and associated precautions and contraindications into account.
