October Special Issue of Rehabilitation Oncology targets COVID-19
Rehabilitation Oncology‘s October issue is a Special Issue addressing issues related to cancer survivors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The featured Research Report, which assessed distress and quality of life (QOL) for women receiving care for breast cancer–related impairments during closure of rehabilitation services due to COVID-19, is receiving national attention. Visit our Publications page for the full press release and access to the article and the special issue.
100 Survivor Stories for 100 Years
To help celebrate APTA’s Centennial, we want to share 100 stories of how physical therapy has affected survivors’ lives. These stories will be shared over the next few months as we prepare to celebrate 100 years of APTA. Have a client, friend, or family member who has had a good experience with PT during their cancer journey? We would love to hear their story. Please share this template, which can be completed and sent directly to Shai Sewell. Please complete this photo release form if a photo of the survivor is included (optional). We look forward to sharing these stories with our membership and our community to show what oncologic physical therapy can do!
