Effect of Feedback-Based Balance Training on Balance and Gait in Cancer Patients With Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common complication of cancer treatment that can cause numbness, tingling, pain, balance problems, and difficulty walking. These symptoms may increase the risk of falls and reduce independence and quality of life in cancer survivors. The purpose of this study is to determine whether adding feedback-based balance training to conventional physiotherapy improves balance and walking ability in cancer patients with CIPN. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive conventional physiotherapy along with feedback-based balance and gait training, while the other group will receive conventional physiotherapy alone. The intervention will be provided twice per week for four weeks. Balance, gait performance, neuropathy symptoms, and fear of falling will be assessed before and after the intervention using standardized clinical outcome measures. The findings of this study may help identify effective rehabilitation strategies to improve balance and mobility in cancer patients affected by chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.
