Functional capacity, physical activity and muscle strength assessment of individuals with non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review of instruments and their measurement properties
(BMC, 2013-03-20)
BACKGROUND: The measurement properties of instruments used to assess functional capacity, physical activity and muscle strength in participants with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have not been systematically reviewed. ...
Understanding factors influencing physical activity and exercise in lung cancer: a systematic review
(SPRINGER, 2017-03-01)
