Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It was found that progressive stages of cancer affected muscle weakness and decreasing of ADL(activity of daily living) from a cohort study of cancer patients. In a kinetic program, increase of walking steps and walking paces enhanced the muscle activity of quadriceps femoris, and the effectiveness of walking exercises was suggested. It was thought that the rehabilitation for cancer patients contributed to the decrease of postoperative complication rates and the improvement of physical function in chemotherapeutic patients, and the increase of home discharge rates in patients with bone metastasis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
歩幅増のウォーキングプログラムによる運動療法の有効性が確認され、がん悪液質による筋力低下や日常生活動作などの低下に対してウォーキングプログラムを含めた運動療法が術後合併症率の減少や身体機能の向上に繋がることが示唆された。これらの情報は今後、がん患者に対するリハビリテーションの向上に寄与するものと思われる。
