Abstract
Patients with brain tumor frequently experience a combination of physical, cognitive, and communication deficits. These may cause severe psycho-emotional stress altering biological and mental conditions and complicating the course of the primary disease, and thus necessiate physical and psychological rehabilitation. While existing data on the effectiveness of such treatment in patients with intracranial glioma are limited and inconsistent, it is possible to suggest that systematic and multidisciplinary rehabilitation plays a very important therapeutic role and leads to improvements in functional independence, mental and emotional state, and quality of life.
