Today, however, exercise is increasingly viewed as an integral component of the treatment plan regardless of where these survivors are on the cancer spectrum. Cancer and its treatment often results in patients with complex medical problems, making it clinically more challenging to utilize exercise training as a therapeutic intervention. This course will address issues associated with using exercise interventions with this population including why exercise interventions are needed for this patient population, how to implement exercise programs for this patient population and do so safely, and how to assess changes in fitness in this patient population. The course includes a lab component which provides the attendees with hands on instruction in both the assessment of exercise capacity survivors and the application of exercise training methodologies to these individuals. Completion of this course will increase the ability of a practicing rehabilitation professional to more successfully treat cancer survivors.Register OnlineLocationMary Free Bed Rehabilitation HospitalMeijer Conference CenterProfessional Building350 Lafayette Ave SEGrand Rapids, MI 49503Course ObjectivesAt the conclusion of this course, a participant should be able to:Explain the basic biology of exercise, cancer and acute and adaptive responses to exerciseDescribe cancer diagnoses, cancer treatments, and side effects particularly as they relate to impairmentsUnderstand how exercise training can improve functional capacity, quality of life, and improve prognosis following a cancer diagnosis.Recognize and respond to adverse responses to exercise trainingAppropriately modify exercise program in response to acute patient statusWrite exercise prescriptions for the oncology patient and survivorIdentify and use of appropriate outcome measures in the oncology settingDiscuss safety concerns associated with exercising this patient populationDiscuss the use of exercise training across the cancer spectrumDiscuss exercise interventions in the context of  lymphedema and treatment associated peripheral edemaDescribe the role of exercise in treating the cancer survivorParticipants will receive a certificate of participation for 0.8 CEUS (8 contact hours) at the conclusion of the course.Snacks will be provided and lunch is on your own.
