Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy to a Tailored Exercise Program for Patients Suffering From Chemotherapy-induced Neuropathy Related to Breast Cancer

pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy for addressing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuritis in the lower limb, patients were first prepared by ensuring they were in a relaxed state, free from distractions, and instructed to remove any metallic items while wearing comfortable clothing. The treatment utilized the ASA Easy Terza series PEMF device from Italy, with each patient positioned comfortably in a supine posture. The device was connected to a 220 V electrical supply, and the solenoid was placed over the lower leg, operating at a frequency of 50 Hz and an intensity of 20 G for a duration of 20 minutes. Patients were situated in a position between sitting and lying, with their lower legs and feet positioned within the solenoid. The setup adhered to the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure effective delivery of the magnetic oscillations, with treatment parameters meticulously adjusted

This TEP has been meticulously designed to address the rehabilitation needs of patients dealing with lower limb issues. The program encompasses a comprehensive approach, integrating various types of exercises aimed at enhancing strength, functional mobility, balance, coordination, flexibility, and pain management. The sequence of exercises begins with strengthening exercises targeting key muscle groups such as the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior, followed by functional training activities that simulate daily movements. This is complemented by balance and coordination drills, coordination drills that challenge stability, and flexibility and stretching exercises to improve range of motion. Additionally, pain management techniques and therapeutic modalities like hot packs are incorporated to alleviate discomfort and enhance relaxation. Finally, the program concludes with low-impact aerobics, such as walking programs, to promote cardiovascular fitness. Prior to commencing the exercise
