Strength and Balance Training

Strength and balance training involves a combination of strengthening exercises with resistance or weights and exercises to improve balance using static and dynamic tasks that require the interpretation of sensory information with varying levels of difficulty. This type of training may or may not also include aerobic exercises. Strength and balance training has been examined for its impact on lower extremity position sense, motor changes, and other symptoms associated with peripheral neuropathy in patients with cancer.
