In any patient or client who is undergoing cancer treatment (especially chemotherapy), laboratory values offer a guide for determining appropriate frequency, intensity, and duration of exercise. In an outpatient setting, laboratory values may be unavailable or outdated. Without the benefit of laboratory values (and even when laboratory values are available), the therapist can and should monitor vital signs and rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and should look for associated signs and symptoms (e.g., pallor, dyspnea, unexplained or excessive diaphoresis, heart palpitations, visual changes, dizziness). Anything out of the ordinary should be considered a yellow (cautionary) flag that requires careful observation, further evaluation, and possibly medical referral.

This is a medical decision and is not within the scope of physical therapist practice. If the clinician has any doubt, the physician should be contacted. The therapist can certainly take vital signs, ask about the presence of constitutional symptoms such as fever, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, and look for and document associated signs and symptoms. All of these findings can be submitted to the physician for consideration.
Space-occupying lesions (whether discogenic, bony spurs in the foraminal spaces, or tumor cells invading and occupying the spaces next to nerve roots) may cause an increase in deep tendon reflexes when compression irritates the nerve but does not obstruct the reflex arc. When any anatomic obstruction is large enough to compress the nerve and interfere with the reflex arc, the deep tendon reflex is diminished or absent.
Pain, movement dysfunction, and disability usually result in weight gain due to inactivity. When someone is experiencing back pain, for example, and reports a significant weight loss, this may be a red flag for systemic origin of the problem.

For the purposes of considering request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Cwth 2005), and Student Support and Engagement Policy, academic requirements for this subject are articulated in the Subject Overview, Learning Outcomes, Assessment and Generic Skills sections of this entry.
It is University policy to take all reasonable steps to minimise the impact of disability upon academic study, and reasonable adjustments will be made to enhance a student's participation in the University's programs. Students who feel their disability may impact on meeting the requirements of this subject are encouraged to discuss this matter with a Faculty Student Adviser and Student Equity and Disability Support:
Students will build on their previous musculoskeletal knowledge to include more complex and chronic pathologies as well as vertebral disorders. Students should have the opportunity to perform independent assessments and demonstrate the ability to make differential diagnosis decisions; know the indications and contra-indications for, and demonstrate the safe use of, high velocity thrust treatment techniques; independently select and execute appropriate treatment techniques; be able to evaluate treatment effectiveness and to modify treatment as necessary. Students will be expected to organise and manage an appropriate workload, formulate and implement appropriate long- and short-term goals including discharge planning. Students will also be given the opportunity to understand the role of a physiotherapist in multidisciplinary clinical settings and apply the above principles to patients in a primary contact environment.
