PHYSIOTHERAPY MONITORINGFOR CACHEXIA:
Physiotherapists should be aware of symptoms of cachexia such asreduced energy, weight loss, muscle wasting, and behaviours which additionally compromise energy intake, for example restlessness, malaise and anhedonia(the inability to experience pleasure from activities that are usually enjoyed. e.g. Hobbies, exercise, sexual activity or social interaction).
Resistance training and other interventions aimed at stimulating skeletal muscle growth might be of benefit for this population.
