Rehabilitation is a powerful tool for reducing the impact of a wide range of health conditions, from acute and chronic illnesses to injury and illness. It can also be used to complement other medical and surgical interventions, helping to achieve the best possible outcome. Family acceptance and support are essential for helping individuals cope with issues related to self-esteem and self-image after a disability. Positive attitudes and reinforcement from loved ones can help motivate individuals to work towards recovery.
Family participation, flexibility, and open communication can help to overcome many of the barriers associated with disability. Families that inspire hope can help individuals adapt and become more confident in their abilities. The objective of this review is to evaluate the most recent data on the effects of rehabilitation in patients with advanced cancer. By working together with the rehabilitation team, patients and their families can help reduce some of the adverse effects of disability.
