Motor ability, physical self?concept and health?related quality of life in pediatric cancer survivors

Background Cancer survivorship is frequently associated with severe late effects. However, research into pediatric cancer survivors on effects in motor ability, physical self-concept and their relationship to quality of life limited. Methods Using multiple regression analyses, 78 56 typically developing children were compared health-related life. In addition, mediational multi-group analyses between ability (independent variable), (mediator) (dependent variable) calculated. Results Pediatric had a lower (gHedges = 0.863), regard several scales the PSDQ-S 0.318–0.764) higher relative risk for below average than controls (RR 1.44). Children history involving central nervous system showed poorer those without involvement 0.591). Furthermore, significantly mediated but not children. Conclusions show importance monitoring supporting development aftercare survivors. Physical activity interventions may be advisable prevent activity-related potentially improve related psychosocial variables such as
