ABSTRACT

Background: In Cancer patients as there is rising prevalence of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) have sensory and motor deficits which lead to inappropriate proprioceptive feedback, risk of fall and impaired postural control.

Aim and Objectives: To find effect of proprioceptive training on balance in cancer patients with chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy.

Methodology: 45 participants were selected between the age 41-60 years (mean age 54.03) and informed consent was taken. Pre-intervention BBS, mTNS, and FRT score were calculated. Total 15 sessions of proprioceptive training for 3 weeks was given in which Single limb stance, lunges and base of support exercises. BBS, mTNS and FRT were noted post-treatment.

Results: BBS difference for pre-treatment is 37.13 and post is 43.8(p value<0.0001), mTNS difference for pre-treatment is 14.33 and post is 11.13 (p value<0.0001) and FRT difference for pre-treatment is 10.9 and post is 13(p Value<0.0001).

Conclusion: In this study we concluded that there is significant effect of proprioceptive training on balance in chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy.

Key words: Proprioception, Balance, Cancer, Chemotherapy, Peripheral Neuropathy.
