Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 9-week rehabilitation program (RP) for patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) over a 6-month period.
- - Out of 36 participants assessed, 22 completed the RP, showing significant immediate improvements in functional exercise capacity, balance, fatigue, and quality of life after the program.
- - Continued improvements were noted 6 weeks and 6 months after the RP in areas like functional exercise capacity, kinesiophobia, depression, and certain quality of life aspects, indicating the program's effectiveness.
Background: Patients with advanced lung cancer (LC) or malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) exhibit limitation of exercise capacities and alteration of quality of life (QoL) induced by cancer and its treatment. Few studies assessed pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in these chemotherapy-treated patients, and none evaluated a home-based PR program.
Methods: In this prospective uncontrolled observational pilot study, patients treated by chemotherapy for LC or MPM were screened for a home-based PR program combining exercise training with global cares including therapeutic education and psychosocial management.
