  • Title: [Exercise and sports therapy for patients with head and neck tumors].
    Author: Seifert E, Ewert S, Werle J.
    Journal: Rehabilitation (Stuttg); 1992 Feb; 31(1):33-7. PubMed ID: 1585052.
    Abstract:
    Important aspects in the aftercare of patients with cancer of head and neck can be realized by physical training in a sports group. The aftermath of operative therapy, e.g. loss of motion, imbalances of muscular activity or respiratory movements, can be reduced. The main importance of physical training in a group is the patient's reintegration in a social environment. Evaluating the quality of life of the individual patient we found that this method of psychosocial aftercare can improve subjective quality of life. Therefore, this conception of rehabilitation should not be missing in the aftercare of patients with malignant cancer.
