Cancer is the most prevalent, disabling and costly health care condition for people in developed countries and presently impacts greater than 50% of the general population. This course will focus on an introduction to cancer pathology and its treatment and give clinicians an understanding of the disease and its impact on hematological, neurological, metabolic, and muscular function. In addition, the causes and mechanisms underlying cancer related pain, fatigue, and weakness will be covered in detail to provide a foundation for cancer patient assessment and choice of physiotherapy treatment modalities in general practice.
Very informative
The course is very well explained, well structured and divided into different modules (approx. 30min each) so that you can follow it at your own pace and in stages. Lots of relevant information. Very little is known about this subject through the basic physiotherapy curriculum, so yes, it’s very relevant to talk about pathology before going into the more “physio” portion. I find that level 1 is rather the “basics” and that it provides an understanding of pathology, patients, and a basic assessment.
I’m looking forward to taking the other courses to complete my knowledge and expertise.
Great course!
excellent course
Excellent speaker and detailed content. Perhaps it would be good to have videos of examples of physical rehabilitation tests to make the course more dynamic and practical. But I’m aware that Level 1 was rather theoretical.
