- Results showed a reduction in average IUC days and higher medication prescription rates while highlighting that electronic medical records (EMR) can be effective for monitoring intervention data if properly documented.
Examination of clinical and laboratory measures of static and dynamic balance in breast cancer survivors.
Physiother Theory Pract

Department of Physical Therapy Education, Elon University, Elon, NC, USA.
Balance in breast cancer survivors is understudied. Increased understanding of how postural control is affected when the body is stationary, moving, or engaged in a concurrent cognitive task, can aid clinicians who work with this population in identifying how altered postural control may indicate a potential functional decline. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare performance on several assessments of static and dynamic balance, with and without a concurrent cognitive task, in women with and without a history of breast cancer.
