EFFECTS OF A THERAPEUTIC STRENGTH TRAINING PROGRAMME IN PAEDIATRIC CANCER PATIENTS
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cancer, Paediatric
In brief
This project is made possible through the Pediatrics Department of the University Hospital of Salamanca, in collaboration with researchers specialized in therapeutic exercise from other clinical trials and research projects, alongside physical therapists experienced in designing, programming, and supervising therapeutic exercise programs. Furthermore, the project addresses current healthcare needs, as a significant portion of the patient population exhibits symptoms that impair functional capacity and overall quality of life-driven both by age and the oncological disease and its treatment. Consequently, this initiative aims to implement a strength training program to foster beneficial outcomes across various aspects of these patients' health, while sharing the findings with the scientific community.
