Physiotherapy Treatment in the End of Life Care

Abstract

Physiotherapy makes up an essential component of symptomatic treatment in the cancer patients remaining in palliative care. Its primary aim consists in improving their overall quality of life. This is achieved, inter alia, through alleviating the most bothersome symptoms associated with cancer disease, and other ailments constraining patients' activities [1]. It is also vital to maintain feasible physical activity level and selfreliance in the patients within the limits demarcated by the specifics of the disease, while effectively helping them adapt to their emerging functional limitations.
