Exercise Prescription in Patients With Bone Metastases

NCT03979118 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 58

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Cancer which has spread to the bone, causing bone metastases (bone tumours) can weaken bone health and increase risk of fractures (breaks). Consequently, patients can be unsure whether to exercise and health professionals can be unsure what exercise advice is suitable. Despite this, it is well known that exercise improves quality-of-life for patients with bone metastases and therefore it is important that exercise is prescribed to these patients.

This study aims to increase understanding of the link between daily exercise and risk of fracture in patients with bone metastases.
