January Special Issue of Rehabilitation Oncology Focused on Balance & Falls
This special issue, guest edited by Min Huang, PT, PhD, provides valuable information into the impact of chemotherapy on balance by Wechsler and colleagues, the role of impaired executive function in physical mobility by Blackwood, et al., and significant insights into the experience of fear of falling during cancer survivorship by Covington. These are just a few of the important pieces in this issue.
