ABSTRACT

A physiotherapist treats patients with Glioblastoma multiforme. Glioblastoma multiforme treatment includes chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, which are being continuously developed and thus increase the survival of patients with a cancer diagnosis. More specifically, 5-year survival rates increase with a cancer diagnosis. Patients with Glioblastoma multiforme have many problems including muscle weakness, pulmonary dysfunction, fatigue, and pain. In the end, patients with cancer tend to have a decline in activities of daily living (ADL) and quality of life (QOL). Additionally, patients often have progressive disease, depression, and anxiety. Physiotherapy often helps patients regain strength and physical function and improve their QOL and independence of daily living that they may have lost due to its treatment. Physiotherapy has an important role in increasing the physical function of Glioblastoma multiforme patients. In the future, physiotherapy may be progressively needed for the management of Glioblastoma multiforme patients.

Key words: Glioblastoma multiforme, Activities of daily living, Quality of Life, Physiotherapy.
