Beskrivelse
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adult patients aged 18 years or older admitted to the palliative care unit with a confirmed diagnosis of advanced cancer.
- Palliative Performance Scale (PPS) score of 40 or above.
- Clinically stable and conscious at the time of recruitment.
- Capable of providing informed consent, either personally or through a legal guardian.
Exclusion Criteria:

Andet: Experimental: Physiotherapy Intervention Group
Individualized Physiotherapy Program Participants received an individualized physiotherapy program delivered once daily for one week (7 sessions), each lasting approximately 45-60 minutes.
The program included: range-of-motion exercises, manual therapy, strengthening exercises, stretching, mobility training, transfer training, ambulation exercises, positioning, and chest physiotherapy, as clinically appropriate.
The program was tailored to each patient's functional status, clinical condition, and tolerance, with modifications made according to daily clinical assessment.
Outcome measures: Barthel Index (BI), Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), and Palliative Performance Scale (PPS) assessed at baseline (within 24-48 hours of recruitment) and after completion of the one-week intervention (day 7).

Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Improvement in Barthel Index (BI)
Tidsramme: [Time Frame: Timepoint 1 = Baseline (within 24-48 hours of recruitment). Timepoint 2 = Post-intervention (day 7 or at discharge).]
|
The BI assesses independence in activities of daily living, with higher scores indicating greater independence.
Scores range from 0 to 100.
|
[Time Frame: Timepoint 1 = Baseline (within 24-48 hours of recruitment). Timepoint 2 = Post-intervention (day 7 or at discharge).]
|
|
Improvement in Functional Ambulation Category (FAC)
Tidsramme: [Time Frame: Timepoint 1 = Baseline. Timepoint 2 = Post-intervention (day 7 or at discharge).]
|
The FAC assesses walking ability and level of assistance required for ambulation.
Scores range from 0 (non-ambulatory) to 5 (independent ambulation on all surfaces).
|
[Time Frame: Timepoint 1 = Baseline. Timepoint 2 = Post-intervention (day 7 or at discharge).]
|
|
Improvement in Palliative Performance Scale (PPS)
Tidsramme: [Time Frame: Timepoint 1 = Baseline. Timepoint 2 = Post-intervention (day 7 or at discharge).]
|
The PPS assesses overall functional status in palliative care, with higher scores indicating better functional performance.
Scores range from 0 to 100 in increments of 10.
|
[Time Frame: Timepoint 1 = Baseline. Timepoint 2 = Post-intervention (day 7 or at discharge).]
