About the Study
This study is no longer recruiting patients.
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) symptoms include numbness combined with tingling sensations, persistent shooting, stabbing, or burning pain even in the absence of an obvious cause, lower extremity muscle weakness, and impaired balance. Resistance exercise has shown promising results; however, the effect of exercise on CIPN remains understudied. This study will look at the effects of gain and balance training and resistance exercise (using bands) on gait, balance, and lower extremity muscle strength after a 16-week home-based exercise program compared to educational materials without an exercise program.
