Abstract
Introduction: Physical rehabilitation is increasingly incorporated throughout the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant journey for older adults.
Objective: This study aimed to describe physical medicine and rehabilitation-related diagnoses, exercise barriers, and management recommendations for older adults before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
Design: Fifty physical medicine and rehabilitation consults as part of the Enhanced Recovery-Stem Cell Transplant multidisciplinary prehabilitation program at a comprehensive cancer center were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: Many physical medicine and rehabilitation-related diagnoses (173), exercise barriers (55), and management recommendations (112) were found. Common diagnoses were musculoskeletal dysfunction (more commonly back, shoulder, then knee) ( n = 39, 23%) and fatigue ( n = 36, 21%). Common exercise barriers were also musculoskeletal dysfunction (more commonly back, knee, then shoulder) (total n = 20, 36%) and fatigue ( n = 20, 36%). Most patients ( n = 32, 64%) had one or more exercise barriers. Common physical medicine and rehabilitation management recommendations were personalized exercise counseling ( n = 37, 33%), personalized nutrition management ( n = 19, 17%), body composition recommendations ( n = 17, 15%), medications ( n = 15, 13%), and orthotics and durable medical equipment ( n = 8, 7%).
Conclusions: Routine physical medicine and rehabilitation referral of older allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients for prehabilitation resulted in the identification of many rehabilitative needs and substantial additional management recommendations. Increased early, collaborative prehabilitation efforts between physical medicine and rehabilitation and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant teams to optimize care for these patients is recommended.
期刊介绍：
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation focuses on the practice, research and educational aspects of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Monthly issues keep physiatrists up-to-date on the optimal functional restoration of patients with disabilities, physical treatment of neuromuscular impairments, the development of new rehabilitative technologies, and the use of electrodiagnostic studies. The Journal publishes cutting-edge basic and clinical research, clinical case reports and in-depth topical reviews of interest to rehabilitation professionals.
Topics include prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cardiopulmonary disease, trauma, acute and chronic pain, amputation, prosthetics and orthotics, mobility, gait, and pediatrics as well as areas related to education and administration. Other important areas of interest include cancer rehabilitation, aging, and exercise. The Journal has recently published a series of articles on the topic of outcomes research. This well-established journal is the official scholarly publication of the Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP).
