Effect of Structured Exercise-based rehabilitation on Sarcopenia and Quality of life among Head and Neck Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemo-radiotherapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Sarcopenia was lesser in IG compared to CG, highlighting the favourable impact of resistance training and its inclusion in the HNC rehabilitation. However, CG demonstrated significant improvements in quality of life as compared to IG suggesting that quality of life is a multifaceted construct that may not be directly correlated with physical improvements alone.
