Many people are familiar with rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery, other types of surgery, or long hospitalizations. But recently there has been more talk about pre-habilitation and rehabilitation surrounding cancer surgery and treatment.
On Wednesday, February 12, 2020 at 9pm ET, the #gyncsm community is pleased to welcome Dr. Timothy Marshall (@MarshallTF_PhD), Acting Executive Director of the Kean University, School of Physical Therapy in New Jersey, for our discussion on cancer pre-hab and rehab. Dr. Marshall is the author of a number of articles including Consensus- Building Efforts to Identify Best Tools for Screening and Assessment for Supportive Services in Oncology. Journal of Disability and Rehabilitation.
After defining pre-habilitation and rehabilitation, we will discuss how programs for patients are developed as well as who to speak with about these services using the following topic questions:
- T1: What is cancer pre-habilitation? Is prehab important for those having surgery?
- T2: What is cancer rehabilitation? What is impairment driven rehabilitation?
- T3: When is the right time to ask about cancer rehab and who should I ask? Will insurance pay for this service?
- T4: Where are cancer pre-hab and rehab services offered? How would a patient go about finding these services in their community?
- T5: How is it determined which exercise program is best for each patient?
- T6: Can a patient who may have finished treatment a year or more ago do any exercise to help with the side effects of treatment?
We hope you will join us and Dr. Marshall for this month's chat.
