“…Physiotherapists working with cancer patients are more likely to stretch the exercise guidelines boundaries when weighing the benefits of mobilizing patient versus risk of continuous bed rest complications [57]. It is also recommended to discuss with the physician the risks versus the benefits of physiotherapy intervention if the lab values are not within normal levels.…”

Older patients with cancer may have multiple physical impairments, such as limitation in range of motion, muscle weakness, lack of coordination, and balance and gait dysfunction. A patient's physical function may be further limited by pain, fatigue, depression, and shortness of breath that hasten the deconditioning process and affect their overall quality of life. Understanding the common impairments in cancer would help the therapist to assess and treat them effectively; thus, this article aims to provide an overview of functional limitations associated with cancer and its treatments and the use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health as a keystone for selection of appropriate outcome measures to assess physical function that would help the physiotherapist to design an effective treatment for older patients with cancer.

Introduction: Therapy sessions that do not result in treatment (nontreatment) occur in 15% to 26% of scheduled sessions. The relationship between therapist personality and nontreatment is unknown. Objective: To determine the relationship between physical therapist personality and nontreatment events in the acute hospital. Methods: The relationship between physical therapist personality (Big Five Inventory) and nontreatment was statistically modeled adjusting for other therapist and patient factors. Results: There were 522 patients and 34 physical therapists with 918 scheduled physical therapy sessions included. The average age of patients was 71 (SD = 16, range = 17-99) and 41 (SD = 7, range 27-54) for therapists. Therapists with higher openness had lower nontreatment, odds ratio 0.93; 95% confidence interval 0.87 to 0.99; P = .045. Conclusions: The positive effect of physical therapy is minimized when scheduled treatment does not occur. Lower nontreatment is associated with more trait openness. Attributes related to openness (eg, inquisitiveness and problem-solving) should be cultivated. More research is needed to understand nontreatment and guide therapists in hospital patient care.
