“…These individuals on average achieved supervision functional levels at the completion of their rehabilitation program. For these groups, discharge FIM-T scores were comparable to previously reported results, though FIM-E was generally better [14,16,19,21,23]. This may indicate that aggressive interventions with both medical and radiation oncology could lead to improved functionality from decreased mass effects from the tumor.…”

“…Our length of stay was 18.13, which was decreased compared to previously reported results [14,19,20,22,23]. This may be a function of neurological recovery after space occupying lesions are surgically excised [19]. In this study, increased LOS correlated with increased FIM.…”

“…Furthermore, dysphagia protocols related to those used in stroke have been shown to improve overall swallow for brain tumor patients, with an increased number of individuals discharged from speech therapy with regular diets [18]. Of note, patients evaluated in several of these studies did not receive chemotherapy or radiation therapy during their stays in acute inpatient rehabilitation [15,16,19]. For patients who did receive concurrent radiation therapy alone during inpatient rehabilitation, functional improvements were noted.…”

“…In fact, studies of functional outcome after inpatient rehabilitation have indicated similar, or even better, outcomes for patients with a brain tumor than for individuals with traumatic brain injury or stroke, matched on demographic, medical and/or functional characteristics [45][46][47]. This suggests that patients with a brain tumor may also be good candidates for cognitive intervention.…”

“…[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] A number of evaluation scales were applied in the studies; however, as the most common were Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and Barthel Index (BI) scales, only articles with complete FIM and/or BI data were selected for the meta-analysis. References of selected articles were used to identify further studies meeting the inclusion criteria.…”

Background. Rehabilitation for cancer patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement is rarely considered and data on its use are limited. The purpose of the present study is to collect all available published data on neuro-oncology rehabilitation and perform a meta-analysis where results were presented in a comparable manner. Moreover, the authors report results on cancer patients with neurological disabilities undergoing rehabilitation at their unit. Study design. A PubMed search was performed to identify studies regarding cancer patients with CNS involvement undergoing inpatient physical rehabilitation. Studies with a complete functional evaluation at admission and discharge were selected. As the most common evaluation scales were Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and Barthel Index (BI), only articles with complete FIM and/or BI data were selected for the meta-analysis. Moreover, 23 cancer patients suffering from diverse neurological disabilities underwent standard rehabilitation program between April 2005 and December 2007 at the San Raffaele Pisana Rehabilitation Center. Patient demographics and relevant clinical data were collected. Motricity Index, Trunk Control Test score, and BI were monitored during rehabilitation to assess patient progresses. BI results of patients in this study were included in the meta-analysis. Results. The meta-analysis included results of a total of 994 patients. A statistically significant (P < .05) improvement of both BI and FIM scores was demonstrated after rehabilitation (standardized mean difference = 0.60 and 0.75, respectively). Functional status determined by either FIM or BI improved on average by 36%. Conclusion. Published data demonstrate that patients with brain tumors undergoing inpatient rehabilitation appear to make functional gains in line with those seen in similar patients with nonneoplastic conditions.
