Head & Neck Cancer Survivorship: Physical and Functional Status
OBJECTIVES:
- Describe the physical and functional well-being of head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors
undergoing physical therapy during adjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
- Describe clinical measure of range of motion for the cervical spine and shoulder of HNC
survivors undergoing physical therapy during adjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
- Determine the feasibility of an early physical therapy intervention (prior to and
during adjuvant treatment) targeting the physical needs of HNC survivors.
OUTLINE: Patients undergo physical therapy weekly for 10 weeks beginning 1 week prior to
initiating adjuvant chemoradiotherapy and continuing until 2 weeks after the completion of
adjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
Patients undergo range of motion assessment and complete a Cancer Survivorship Survey (CSS)
at baseline and in weeks 4, 8, 9, and 10 of physical therapy.
