Feasibility and Implementation of an Oncology Rehabilitation Triage Clinic: Assessing Rehabilitation, Exercise Need, and Triage Pathways within the Alberta Cancer Exercise–Neuro-Oncology Study

Individuals living with and beyond cancer face physical impairment inactivity in survivorship. Neuro-oncology populations have especially high rates of sedentary behaviour functional deficits, including impaired balance, motor skills, cognition. Our purpose was to assess the rehabilitation exercise needs patients brain tumours while examining feasibility a triage clinic as part Alberta Cancer Exercise–Neuro-Oncology study, where were referred clinic, health, neurologic, status assessed, followed by referral one or multiple resources, exercise, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, physiatry. Qualitative perception collected. Overall, feasible safe for participants, facilitating into resources. Pre-determined enrollment attendance met, but not met. Oncology staff reported forgetting refer uncertainty who appropriate barriers. clinic-based screening may improve identification are impairment. A proposed tool, Rehabilitation Exercise Screening Tool (CREST), is presented within our Pathways Model. The CREST can identify impairment, resources ultimately improving patient recovery functioning.
