What is the presentation about?
What is cancer rehab? Why would I go to this presentation? Did you know there are over 12 MILLION people in the US who have had cancer at some point in their life? Are you certain that the patient you are seeing after a TKA does not have a cancer history, and they possibly forgot to tell you? What does the evidence support for rehab services after the diagnosis of cancer, whether at diagnosis, long term survivorship or metastatic disease? Is it appropriate to work with a patient with advanced metastatic disease, or who is receiving chemotherapy? What about during radiation, or bone marrow transplant? What exercise is safe, and what research can I present to support exercise? What about ?red flags?? How do they fit into the orthopedic evaluation of the person with a history of cancer? These and other questions will be addressed in Myth or Reality.
