Study Overview
Brief Summary
STUDY PROCEDURE:
Patients who have undergone surgery and radiation therapy for oral cavity cancer will be recruited from the surgical and radiation oncology departments. Participants will be selected based on specific inclusion criteria. After obtaining informed consent, participants will undergo a comprehensive assessment.
Assessment Components
The assessment will include:
- Demographic and Clinical Data Collection: Gathering information on patient demographics and clinical characteristics, such as:
-
Type of surgery performed
-
Date of surgery
-
Radiation therapy status
- Movement Impairment Evaluation: Each patient will be evaluated for movement impairments, including:
-
Trismus: Limited mouth opening, assessed using maximal interincisal opening (MIO)
-
Shoulder Dysfunction: Limited shoulder mobility, assessed using shoulder range of motion
-
Neck Dysfunction: Limited neck mobility, assessed using cervical range of motion
This assessment aims to gather valuable information on the impact of surgery and radiation therapy on patients’ movement and functional abilities, which can inform rehabilitation strategies and improve patient outcomes
