Effect of paediatric onco-rehabilitation on child with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

The most prevalent paediatric malignancy, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), mostly affects children between the ages of 2 and 5 years. Its incidence is 101.4 per million. The quality of life can be negatively impacted by side symptoms such as weariness and motor deficits, even if the current treatments have an 80-90% survival rate. This case report describes a South Asian child with ALL who had diminished stamina, tiredness and muscle weakness. Through complete blood count and bone marrow biopsy, the diagnosis was verified. After chemotherapy, a hydrotherapy-based physiotherapy programme was implemented. Significant gains in joint mobility, muscle strength and decreased fatigue were shown by post-intervention evaluations. The hospital anxiety depression scale, WeeFIM/FIM, the Paediatric Balance Scale and the timed up-and-go test were additional instruments employed. The findings demonstrate how aquatic rehabilitation benefits children with ALL in terms of their physical recovery and general well-being.
